Abstract
A buckle folding machine with one or several folding roller pairs (W1/W2, W2/W3, W3/W4, W4/W5) and one or several folding pockets (T1, T2), which are associated with the individual folding station (F1 through F4) and which each have a paper stop (10, 11/1, 12, 13), which can be set to different feed lengths. To also collect and jointly fold a plurality of sheets of paper (1), at least one folding pocket (T2) is designed for simultaneously receiving a plurality of sheets of paper (1) such that the individual sheets of paper (1) are able to run in automatically up to the paper stop (11/1) over their full length and remain there. A pushing device is provided (3) which performs impulse-like stroke movements by means of a special drive (31) controlled by a presettable sheet counting device (18) or code-reading device (24). These stroke movements cause the sheets of paper collected in this folding pocket (T 2) to be delivered together into the next folding station (F2).
