Abstract
The deice for conveying flat objects edge-on in series at high speed between an entry (A) and an exit (B) of a conveying path comprises a routing system for diverting some of these flat objects towards another exit (B′) between the entry and the exit of the conveying path. This system comprises two mobile flaps ( ) kept mutually parallel and arranged between the entry and the exit of the conveying path, and two motorized endless belts ( ) moving between these two flaps and between which the flat objects conveyed are gripped, these two flaps being mounted so that they can pivot so as to route the flat objects either towards the exit (B) of the conveying path or towards the other exit (B′). A stationary post ( ) is located at the point where the flat objects are routed downstream of the mobile flaps between the entry and the exit of the conveying path. The exit (B) of the conveying path is distant from the stationary post ( ), and one ( ) of the motorized endless belts extends beyond the stationary post as far as the exit of the conveying path, and this makes it possible to ensure the continuity of the conveying of the envelopes exiting the routing system.
