Abstract
Printed products arriving in an imbricated formation are coiled or wound on edge, i.e., with an edge standing upright, onto a revolvingly driven hollow winding cylinder or core. The axis of rotation of this winding core is vertical or is inclined from the vertical. On the underside or bottom side of the winding core there is positioned a co-rotating discoidal support element or plate. The printed products rest or bear with their lowermost edges on this co-rotating support plate. These lowermost edges of the printed products extend substantially transverse relative to the axis of rotation of the support plate. A support strap or element is coiled or wound conjointly with and on the outer side of the imbricated formation of printed products. This support strap or element supports the printed products of the outermost winding or layer of the wound product package or storage coil.
