Abstract
A folding machine in a rotary press of the type in which a printed a paper web is twice-folded and then cut into folded sheets by means of cutter drums, and the folded sheets are conveyed through a distributor section on the downstream side of the machine to a pair of ejectd paper sheet runners while being pinched by belts, is improved. Namely, a conveyor for conveying the folded sheets includes a pair of first conveyor belts between the outlet side of the cutter drums, and the upstream side of the distributor section, a pair of distributor belts forming the distributor section with a triangular guide disposed on the downstream side thereof, two pairs of second conveyor belts between the downstream side of the distributor section and the inlet sides of the pair of ejected paper sheet runners, and guide belts or fixed guide members extending between a location upstream of the distributor section and the inlet side of the distributor section and between the outlet side of the distributor section and a location downstream of the distributor section. These belt pairs define, respectively, independent closed routes. The pair of distributor belts are respectively provided with uneven por…
