Abstract

A folding jaw arrangement (11) at a lateral surface (9) of a product-carrying cylinder (10) in folding apparatuses. The folding jaw arrangement (11) includes a stationary folding jaw part (13) and a movable folding jaw part (14). Formed therebetween is a gap (12) into which a folding means (5) of further cylinder (4) co-operating with the product-carrying cylinder (10) plunges during the cross-folding of products. In the process, the product to be cross-folded passes from the further cylinder (4) to the lateral surface (9) of the product-carrying cylinder (10) and is held thereon by the folding jaws (11). The movable folding jaw part (14; 29, 40) is provided with resilient regions (20, 27) via which the product is brought into and held in contact (15) with the stationary folding jaw part (13) of the folding jaw arrangement (11).
