Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung (2) zum Wenden von in einem Gegenstandsstrom bewegten flachen Gegenständen (4.1 bis 4.n) um eine in Bewegungsrichtung (8) der Gegenstände (4.1 bis 4.n) ausgerichtete Gegenstandsachse (18). Die Gegenstände (4.1 bis 4.n) können eng gestaffelt werden, wenn die Vorrichtung (2) ein zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Wendemittel (22, 24) vorgeschaltetes, weiteres Wendemittel (16) zum Wenden der Gegenstände (4) um die Gegenstandsachse (18) aufweist. Eine vertikaler Höhenversatz der Gegenstände (4.1 bis 4.n) durch das Wenden kann ausgeglichen und eine Verschiebung in einer Freilaufstrecke kann gering gehalten werden.

The invention relates to a device (2) for turning flat objects (4.1 to 4.n) moved in a stream of objects about an object axis (18) aligned in the direction of movement (8) of the articles (4.1 to 4.n). The articles (4.1 to 4.n) can be staggered closely if the device (2) comprises a further turning means (16) arranged in front of two mutually parallel turning means (22, 24) for turning the objects (4) about the object axis (18 ) having. A vertical height offset of the objects (4.1 to 4.n) by the turning can be compensated and a shift in a freewheeling distance can be kept low.
