Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007085101A1] Various printed products (10) are fed by feeding units (7) and collated in compartments (2), wherein the compartments (2) are conveyed substantially continuously past the feed openings (6) which are arranged in a row behind one another, and in each case one printed product (10) is added through each feed opening (6). The compartments (2) have a compartment floor (3) and a transverse wall (4), wherein the compartment floor (3) is inclined in the conveying direction at least in a feeding region (5) of the circulating path (1) of the compartments (2), and the transverse wall (4) leads or trails depending on the direction of inclination. The compartments (2) are coupled to a conveying means in such a way that they can be pivoted about a substantially horizontal axis and/or a substantially vertical axis. As a result, it becomes possible to maintain the angle of inclination of the compartments and/or their spatial orientation which they have in the feeding region, in a further-conveying region (12), a removal region (15) and/or a return region (25) having inclines, downward slopes and/or a horizontal projection with directional changes.
