Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for the delivery of products out of fans for forming a shingled product stream. The invention uses at least one endless chain lead around a drive shaft of a fan arrangement. The chain links of the chain are equally spaced from one another. The fan arrangement uses multiple fans disposed on a drive shaft in spaced relation. The invention has at least one endless chain, having chain links with a projection, and which chain is arranged between the fans. The projections of the chain links touch and guide the front edges of printed products in the pockets and, during common movement of the fans and chain, change the position of the products in the pockets of the fans.
