Patent ID: 7913989

Claim:
A printing press folder comprising: a cutting pair cutting a web at a cutting location to form signatures; a pair of transport cylinders forming a first nip, the pair of transport cylinders receiving the signatures downstream of the cutting pair at the first nip and transporting the signatures away from the cutting pair, the first nip being separated from the cutting location by a first distance; and a pair of acceleration cylinders forming a second nip, the pair of acceleration cylinders receiving the signatures from the pair of transport cylinders at the second nip and transporting the signatures away from the pair of transport cylinders, the second nip being separated from the first nip by a second distance, the pair of transport cylinders being movable with respect to the pair of acceleration cylinders and the pair of acceleration cylinders being movable with respect to the pair of transport cylinders so the first distance and the second distance are selectively variable.
