METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSERTING OBJECTS INTO MULTI-SHEET PRODUCTS, PARTICULARLY PRINTED PRODUCTS

摘要

Multi-sheet products (D), particularly printed products, are opened, for example for the insertion of supplements. For this purpose, according to the method of the invention sheet edges, which in the closed product lie one on the other, are in a first step separated from each other so as to fan out by means of a gas current directed onto these edges, and in a second step an opener (71) is pushed between two of the fanned-out sheet edges, the edges being held stable in a separated position through the continuous action of the gas current until at least a part of the opener has been pushed between the sheets.
