Abstract
An apparatus for turning bodies such as cardboard boxes or cartons or the ke, especially for use in a machine for packing envelopes into cartons, includes at least one bottom carrier which is tiltably driven about a horizontal axis, and at least one top carrier which may be tilted on top of the body to be turned over. At least one connecting member and journalling elements connect the two carriers with each other in such a manner that both carriers can be tilted together or in unison and so that one carrier can also be tilted independently of the other carrier by a respective drive or tilting member. At least one carton supporting lip protrudes from at least one of the carriers for holding the carton while it is being turned.
