Abstract

The invention relates to a sheet delivery device for a printing machine, preferably for an electrophotographically operating printing machine, comprising a transfer path on which sheets are transported from a path entry ( 1 ) of said transfer path to a path exit ( 2 ) of said transfer path via said transfer path. The object of the invention is to be able to adapt a sheet delivery device of the above-said type to various types of printing machines in a cost-effective and simple manner, preferably with minimal manipulation. In accordance with the present invention, this object is achieved in that a specific height level is assigned to the path exit ( 2 ), while the path entry ( 1 ) is configured in a height-variable manner.

Claims (6)

1. A sheet delivery device for a printing machine, preferably for an electrophotographically operating printing machine, comprising:

a transfer path on which sheets are transported from a path entry of said transfer path to a path exit of said transfer path via said transfer path, wherein

a specific height level is assigned to the path exit, while the path entry is configured in a height-variable manner, and at least two successive deflecting elements located in the course of the transfer path together form an S-shaped path segment.

2. Sheet delivery device as in claim 1 , wherein the height level of the path exit corresponds to the maximum height level of the path entry.

3. Sheet delivery device as in claim 1 , wherein the horizontal distance between the path exit and the path entry is independent of the height adjustment of the path entry.

4. Sheet delivery device as in claim 1 , when the height of the path entry is changed, the course of the transfer path changes automatically in such a manner that the length of the transfer path is retained as is.
