1. A folder capable of folding signatures comprising:
- a blade cylinder with at least one blade capable of cutting a printed web of material, a counter-pressure cylinder with at least two counter-pressure elements together defining an axial gap, the blade pressing on the two counter-pressure elements during the cutting operation, a conveying element extending around the counter-pressure cylinder, at least partially surrounding the blade cylinder, and capable of conveying the web and/or a signature cut from the web at least downstream of the cutting location, the conveying element extending in the axial gap when the blade co-operates with the counter-pressure elements, the blade extending over the axial gap the conveying element extending in the axial gap with spacing from the blade when the blade co-operates with the counter-pressure elements.

Abstract
A folding device capable of folding signatures and includes a blade cylinder, which is provided with at least one blade; a counter-pressure cylinder, which is provided with at least two counter-pressure elements which together define an axial gap; and a conveying element which is capable of conveying a signature, and which extends in the axial gap. The blade extends over the axial gap and the conveying element extends in the axial gap with spacing from the blade when the blade co-operates with the counter-pressure elements.
