- the invention enables extremely compact devices to be implemented which offer maximum flexibility and a high processing density.
- the disadvantages inherent in the prior art based on collecting drums, namely a relatively complex construction and the length which is limited due to the complicated storage are avoided.
- the invention offers the possibility of at least partially replacing existing systems by emulating their functionality.
- Specially designed conveying means which are used for collecting, collating and / or inserting printed products, are guided at least in the processing area by means of appropriately designed guiding means along movement paths which are curved spatially in several spatial directions, are closed or open in several planes.
- the device according to the invention is designed in such a way that the printed products can also be conveyed counter to gravity, that is to say overhead.
- the funding has holding means or cooperates with them.
- the holding means are, for example, blocking or clamping elements (flaps, clamps, clamps, holding arms) which specifically prevent the printed products located in the area of the device from falling out.
- the printed products have a variable alignment with one another during the circulation, or they are aligned parallel to one another at least in sections.

- Suitable rails or channels are suitable as guide means.
- the conveying means are guided or driven on one or more sides along the movement paths defined spatially in several planes by the rails or channels. It is not excluded that the guide means has no curvature at least in some areas or is only curved in one spatial direction. Instead of only one, if necessary, at least along certain sections, a plurality of guide means can also be provided which support, guide or take over the conveying means on several sides. This means e.g. the possibility of absorbing high processing forces or guaranteeing particularly precise guidance.

There is also the possibility of designing the movement path in the form of an ovalized or flattened turning ice. There is also the possibility of designing the helix with a constant or variable pitch and radius, so that a variety of processing steps are possible using the same device or a device based on the same functional principle.

- This rail can also be helical and the return area can have a different geometry.
- the counter body can have a double helix-like structure, with both helix curves serving to advance, or one to return and the other to return.
- the provision of a special return path can be avoided by moving the conveying elements in a stroke-like manner along their path, that is to say making a forward and then a return movement during a certain time period.
