Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung zum Verlangsamen von Signaturen (1, 2, 3) umfasst einen Einlaufspalt (40) und einen Austrittsspalt (50) zur Übernahme einer Signatur (1, 2, 3) und zum Verlangsamen der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Signatur (1, 2, 3), wobei der Einlaufspalt (40) und der Austrittsspalt (50) die Signatur (1, 2, 3) kontaktierende Flächen umfassen, die von einem Paar einander gegenüberliegender, nicht-kreisförmiger, rotierender Komponenten (4, 4', 5, 5') gebildet werden, die jeweils einen einen Zugspalt (40, 50) zwischen den Komponenten (4, 4', 5, 5') bildenden ersten Oberflächenabschnitt und einen einen Zwischenraum zwischen den Komponenten (4, 4', 5, 5') bildenden zweiten Oberflächenabschnitt umfassen und die mit einem variablen Geschwindigkeitsprofil rotierbar sind, das bei Bildung des Zugspalts (40, 50) eine Verlangsamung und bei Bildung des Zwischenraums eine Beschleunigung der Komponenten (4, 4', 5, 5') vorsieht.

Figure 00000001
A device for slowing down signatures (1, 2, 3) comprises an inlet gap (40) and an outlet gap (50) for accepting a signature (1, 2, 3) and for slowing down the transport speed of the signature (1, 2, 3) , wherein the inlet gap (40) and the outlet gap (50) comprise surfaces contacting the signature (1, 2, 3) which are formed by a pair of opposing, non-circular, rotating components (4, 4 ', 5, 5') are each formed, a first surface section forming a tension gap (40, 50) between the components (4, 4 ', 5, 5') and a second forming a space between the components (4, 4 ', 5, 5') Include surface section and which are rotatable with a variable speed profile, which provides for a slowdown when the tensile gap (40, 50) is formed and an acceleration of the components (4, 4 ', 5, 5') when the gap is formed.
