Discussion
The claims on appeal include four independent claims.
Independent claim 1 is directed to a device for delivering
signature comprising, inter alia, a tape system running at a
first tape system speed greater that the web speed, a first
conveyor belt downstream of the tape system running at a first
conveyor speed slower that the tape system speed, and a second
conveyor belt downstream of the first conveyor belt running at a
second conveyor speed slower that the first conveyor speed.
Independent claim 36 contains limitations similar to those of
claim 1. Independent claim 2 is directed to a device for slowing
down signatures comprising, an arcuate tape system, a first
conveyor belt downstream of the tape system operating at a first
conveyor speed, and a second conveyor belt downstream of the
first conveyor belt operating at a second conveyor speed less
than the first conveyor speed. Independent claim 37 contains
limitations similar to those of claim 2.
