A device that is usable for delivering printed products includes two
bucket or paddle wheels that can rotate about two different axes of
rotation. Each bucket or paddle wheel includes a plurality of scoop-type
elements that can receive printed products from a first or a second
product flow. A gripper chain is guided around the two different axes of
rotation. Grippers are arranged on the gripper chain and can grip and
printed products received in the scoop-type element to thereby remove the
product from the scoop. At least one device that will open the grippers,
for release of the printed products held by the grippers, is arranged
along the path of travel of the gripper chain.
