Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0574741A1] The opening device (16) has an opening element (18) with a bearing surface (34) and a pricking member (24) whose sharpened pricking end (26) is offset by a predetermined distance relative to the bearing surface (34). The printed product (10) to be opened is held together between the bearing surface (34) and the counter-element (22). When the opening element (18) is turned in the pricking direction (E), the pricking member (24) penetrates between sheets of the printed product (10), these sheets being lifted away from each other when the opening element (18) is turned further. <IMAGE>
