CA 2710749

The invention relates to a method and to a device for conveying planar products (12), particularly folded printed products. At a transfer point (A), the products (12) are inserted with the leading edges (14) thereof ahead into compartments (22) of a revolving system (20) in the form of a paddle wheel, said compartments moving along a closed revolving path (U), and removed from the compartments (22) at a transfer point (B) by means of grippers (32) of a gripper conveyor (30) and conveyed away. According to the invention, the products are seized by the grippers (32) at the trailing edges (16). The seizing of the trailing edge (16), which preferably is not the folded open product edge, has the advantage that it can be implemented without a complicated engagement of the revolving system (20) and gripper conveyor (30) and that the further conveyance and further processing of the products (12) are simplified.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de transport de produits plats (12), notamment de produits d'imprimerie pliés. Les produits (12) sont introduits, par leurs bords avant (14), en un point de transfert (A) dans un compartiment mobile (22) le long d'un parcours de circulation fermé (U), d'un système en rotation (20), sous forme d'une roue à aubes, et sont retirés desdits compartiments (22), en un point de réception (B), au moyen de griffes d'un transporteur à griffes (30), pour être ensuite transportés. L'invention est caractérisée en ce que les produits sont saisis par les griffes (32) par leurs bords arrière (16). Le fait de saisir le bord arrière (16) qui est, de préférence, le bord du produit, ouvert, non plié, présente l'avantage, d'une part, que la saisie peut être effectuée sans engrènement compliqué du système en rotation (20) et du transporteur à griffes (30) et, d'autre part, que le transport ultérieur et le traitement ultérieur des produits (12) sont simplifiés.
