Device and method for trimming printed products
First Claim
1. A device for trimming multiple streams of products comprising:
- a stationary base defining a vertical axis;
a non-rotating first trimming unit arranged at a first angle defining a zero angle position about the axis for trimming at least one side of a first stream of printed products moving in a direction parallel to the axis, the first trimming unit having a first support fixed with respect to the stationary base and a first blade movable radially with respect to the axis; and
a non-rotating second trimming unit arranged at a second angle different from the first angle about the axis with respect to the first trimming unit for trimming at least one side of a second stream of printed products, the second stream moving in a direction parallel to the axis, the second trimming unit having a second support fixed with respect to the stationary base and a second blade movable radially with respect to the axis.

Abstract
A device for trimming multiple streams of printed products including a first trimming unit for trimming at least one side of a first stream of printed products, and a second trimming unit for trimming at least one side of a second stream of printed products, the first stream and the second stream having a similar direction. Also disclosed is a method for trimming multiple streams of printed products comprising moving a first stream of printed products in a first direction, trimming at least one side of the first stream, moving a second stream of printed products separate from the first stream in a direction similar to the first direction, and trimming at least one side of the second stream.

18. A device for trimming multiple streams of printed products comprising:
-
a stationary base;
a rotating splitting device rotating with respect to the stationary base about an axis, the rotating splitting device accepting printed products rotating and splitting the printed products into a first stream and a second stream, the axis being vertical and the first and second streams moving in a vertical direction;
a non-rotating first trimming unit arranged at a first angle with respect to the axis defining a zero angle position for trimming at least one side of the first stream, the first trimming unit having a first support fixed with respect to the stationary base and a first blade movable radially with respect to the axis; and
a non-rotating unit arranged at a second angle different from the first angle about the axis with respect to the first trimming unit for trimming at least one side of the second stream, the second trimming unit having a second support fixed with respect to the stationary base and a second blade movable radially with respect to the axis.
