Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif pour le transport de produits d'imprimerie (1) dans un sens de transport (F) et le long d'un trajet de transport (Z), lesdits produits d'imprimerie (1) transportés étant maintenus au niveau d'une arête latérale (1a) par un élément de préhension (3). Chaque produit d'imprimerie (1), pendant son transport, tout en étant toujours maintenu par l'élément de préhension (3), est animé d'un mouvement de rotation autour d'un axe de rotation (D) pratiquement perpendiculaire à l'arête latérale (1a) maintenue. Cette arête latérale (1a) est orientée par rapport au sens de transport (F) de sorte que l'angle formé entre le sens de transport (F) et une droite normale (N) à la surface principale (2) de chaque produit d'imprimerie (1) soit modifié pour permettre la rotation de la direction de la surface principale (2) par rapport au sens de transport (F).
