Abstract
A conveying arrangement for printed products includes a feed conveyor to successively transport the printed products in a transporting direction to a takeover region, a transporting device having a transfer region to receive the printed products, and a circulating intermediate conveyor to transport the printed products from the takeover region to the transfer region of the transporting device. The circulating intermediate conveyor includes an endless track having a plurality of conveying elements to respectively grip the printed products and transport the gripped printed products from the takeover region to the transfer region where the printed products are transferred to the transporting device. The conveying elements have a swiveling axis that extends transverse to the transporting direction, wherein at least in an area between the takeover region and the transfer region, the conveying elements execute a controlled swiveling movement around the swiveling axis.
