Abstract
The conveying apparatus has a transport belt (,) which is intended to feed flexible, flat articles (,) arising in imbricated formation (S), resting freely, to a conveyor (,). The transport belt (,) is led around a deflection drum (,) and, together with the latter, forms a deflection and conveying gap (,) for the imbricated formation (S). On one side, an edge section (,) of said imbricated formation projects beyond the deflection drum (,). The circulation path (,) of the conveyor (,) runs alongside the drum. Said conveyor is equipped with grippers (,) which are intended to grip the deflected imbricated formation (S) in the edge section and to transport it further.
