Abstract (en)
In an apparatus for folding a sheet (7, 8) of paper, a pair of folding rollers (10, 11) forms a folding nip (12). A sheet (7, 8) is fed in a feeding direction (13) to a first position extending along the folding rollers (10, 11). The sheet (7, 8) is bent adjacent to the folding nip (12) and urged into the folding nip (12). The bent portion of the sheet is folded in the folding nip (12). Then, the folded sheet is transported (7, 8) around one of the folding rollers (10, 11) to a second position extending along the folding nip (12) and the folding rollers (10, 11) at the input side of the folding rollers (10, 11). The sheet is again bent adjacent to the folding nip (12) and a bent portion is again folded in the folding nip (12). The folding roller (10, 11) around which the folded sheet (7, 8) is transported is the downstream one of the folding rollers (10, 11).
