A transport system (1) is provided for removing individual signatures (2) from a transport flow. The system includes grippers (3) which are attached in substantially equal distance therebetween to an endless loop pulling means for holding the signatures (2), and an actuating device (11) causing the grippers (3) to open, with the actuating device (11) displacing a lever arm (13) which is connected to the moveable gripper element (10), to a laterally spaced-apart guide rail (12).
