Abstract

The processing drum, rotatable about the axis for processing printing products, has advancing means for the step-by-step advancing of the printing products deposited in a straddling manner on the rests. In the upper region of the circulating path, these advancing means perform a working stroke about the axis and in the lower region a return stroke. The processing drum has a drawing member reaching around it from below, on which drawing member holding members are arranged at the spacing (A) of the rests, in order to prevent the printing products from falling down when they pass through the lower part of the circulating path and at the same time to support the elongate processing drum.
