Abstract
A multiplicity of similar pockets open at their top and each serving for the reception of a printed product are attached in a closely spaced or uninterrupted row at endless revolving drive elements which move in a direction transversely to the direction of extent of the open pockets. These pockets successively travel to infeed stations for the printed products and the inserts. Each pocket is equipped with a mechanism for opening the printed product located therein. To reduce to a minimum the number of movable components in each pocket and to attain a faultless or proper alignment of the printed products with the inserts and which are collated together for forming a final product, each pocket is provided with an entrainment element intended for the reception of a printed product. This entrainment element is controllably displaceable, transverse to the direction of revolving motion of the pockets, between a first terminal position and a second terminal position. In each pocket there is provided an opening element, such as an opening wedge, which is stationary in relation to the associated pocket. This opening wedge opens the printed product which is entrained by the entrainment eleme…
