Abstract

A tool (8) of a folding device (1) for edge tabs (5) of a material web (2) comprises a conveyance path (19) having a folding surface area (13) for said edge tabs (5) and a further, separate conveyance path (18) for wider edge tabs (4) intended not to be folded at said folding surface area (13). The tool (8) distinguishes the edge tabs (4, 5) by their width and steers the wider edge tabs (4) downwards out of the way prior to attaining the processing conveyance path (19).
