Abstract (en)
A signature (10), or sheet feed, consists a rotating drum (14) which grips the signature by vacuum to remove it from a bottomless holder (12), and by movement in direction (B) carries it to conveyor (38) onto which it drops when released by drum. The signatures are supported by a battery of driven rollers (22) moving linearly with the drum. The holder may be vertical. The conveyor is a saddle chain, but may be a pocket feeder or a flat back conveyor. An Independent claim is included for the method for feeding flat products, such as sheets or signatures from a pile of flat products to a transport device.

Eine Zuführvorrichtung (20), die flache Produkte, insbesondere Bogen oder Signaturen (32, 42), von einem Stapel (10) flacher Produkte zu einer Transporteinrichtung (18, 44, 46) bewegt, weist eine Vereinzelungstrommel (14) auf, die um eine sich durch diese hindurch erstreckende Achse (16) drehbar ist, um eines der flachen Produkte(32, 42) des Stapels (10) zu ergreifen. Die Zuführvorrichtung (20) umfaßt ferner einen Mechanismus zum Bewegen der Trommel (14) entlang eines vorbestimmten linearen Pfades, während sich die Trommel (14) dreht. <IMAGE>
