Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for producing thick folded products such as newspapers having upwards of 100 pages is disclosed. Web-fed rotary printing presses deliver their printed webs to suitable folding means which, in turn, deliver synchronous streams of folded sections to an associating means where a second folded section is associated with, or inserted into, a first section thus forming a complete product such as a newspaper.

A method for producing thick folded products, said method including the steps of: producing a plurality of printed webs on web-fed rotary printing units, each of said printing units having forme cylinders which carry printing plates thereon; feeding said printed webs to a cutting cylinder and counter-cut groove and collecting cylinder to cut said printed webs into a plurality of segments; transferring said segments to a folding jaw cylinder to fold said segments into a series of folded sections; separating said series of folded sections into at least two synchronous streams; and immediately inserting one of said folded sections from a first of said synchronous streams within a corresponding one of said folded sections from a second of said synchronous streams to form one of said thick folded products.
