Abstract:
1. A method for producing adhesive-bound, printed items composed of a number of printed products, comprising: gathering printed products into loose book blocks along a first section of a circulating conveyor, the gathering being conducted while the printed products are positioned transverse to a conveying direction and in a reclined position that is inclined counter to the conveying direction; supplying the book blocks to an additional conveying section of the circulating conveyor, following the first section; accelerating the book blocks in the additional conveying section to achieve a greater divisional spacing between the book blocks; pivoting the book blocks to an upright position such that one side edge of the respective book blocks is in a position approximately parallel to the conveying direction; and lifting the book blocks up from the parallel position and transferring the book blocks to respective conveying clamps of an adhesive binder.
