Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1108672A2] The folding machine has a conveyor (15) for the first part (B) of a signature and a second conveyor (16) alongside this for transporting a second part (A) of the signature. The second conveyor has a first section (20) which transports part A parallel to the direction in which part B is moving. A second section (21) follows this which moves at an angle to the first conveyor (15) and moves part A towards part B, forming a fold. An Independent claim is included for a method of folding signatures using the machine.
