Abstract

A folding device for use with a rotary printing press includes a folding-jaw cylinder and a folding blade cylinder. The folding blade cylinder is movable with respect to the folding-jaw cylinder between a working position where it cooperates with the folding-jaw cylinder and a rest position where it is moved away from the folding-jaw cylinder.
