Patent ID: 8556067

Claim:
A conveyor system for flat products, in particular print shop products, comprising: a feeder device, as well as a gripper conveyor with a plurality of grippers which move along an orbital track (U), wherein each gripper comprises two gripper parts which can be pivoted relative to one another between an open position and a closed position, whose orientation relative to one another and relative to the orbital track is dependent upon their position along the orbital track and is set by means of at least one control device, which features at least one control guide that interacts with the grippers, such that gripper parts in a transfer area (A) of the orbital track (U) can be transferred from the open position to the closed position for the transfer of the products from the feeder device, and wherein the grippers can be controlled by the control device in such a way that selectively individual grippers can be moved through the transfer area (A) without taking up a product from the feeder device.
