Abstract
By means of a feed conveyor (), planar objects () accruing in an overlapping formation (S), in particular printed products, are fed to a deflecting device having at least one deflection member pair (). This deflection member pair () has a deflection member () and a further deflection member (') disposed below it. These form, synchronously with the cycle of the supplied objects () and starting from a passage gap, a transport gap (), and then, again, the passage gap. Downstream of the passage gap and transport gap (), viewed in the feed direction (Z), a stop () is present, against which the respective object () is brought to bear with its leading edge () through the passage gap. The transport gap () acts in the evacuation direction of an evacuating conveyor, to which the deflection member pair () feeds the objects () in a timed manner.
