Abstract

A buckle folding machine with at last one pair of folding rollers and at least one folding pocket (1). The folding pocket includes a top rail (43), which extends over the width of the folding pocket (1) and is attached to lateral toothed belts (26, 27) and has, on its side facing the folding pocket mouth (9), a plurality of stop fingers (44). The stop fingers have front end faces (48), located in a common plane, serve together as a paper stop within the folding pocket (1), and which can be brought by the toothed belts (26, 27) into a front deflecting position, in which their front end faces (48) together act as a paper deflector and guide the material arriving at the folding pocket mouth (9) for folding past the folding pocket (1) and into the next folding station (F2).
