Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0348610A2] The stacking apparatus consists of the stacking unit (10) and the package forming unit (12) arranged below it. Seen in the direction (F), there is arranged at the end of the prestacking space (14) a boundary element (20) which serves as a stop for the folds (30) of the printed products (32). While the printed products (32), fed in the feeding direction (F) with their fold (30) in front, are being placed on top of each other to form a prestack, said printed products are supported approximately centrally by the support element (36) on their edge region (38) opposite the fold (30). For placing the prestack thus formed on the resting table (54), the support arms (42) are swivelled into their position of rest (42') and the slide plates (22) are moved out of the region of the stacking space (14). In this case, a residual curvature of the printed products (32) in their edge region (38) is maintained, which improves the stability of the stack. <IMAGE>
