Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0675010A1] The device has a driven horizontal conveyor band (11), with a transport slit (3) through which the envelope contents are fed past the operator. A non-rotating retardation roller (13) lies on the opposite side of the conveyor band and is moved into and out of engagement with the envelope contents by an electromagnet (14). The friction between the retardation roller and the envelope contents is less than the friction between the individual contents, so that the front item is braked relative to the remainder for separation of the contents from one another. Pref. the electromagnet is controlled by a sensor (16) in the path of movement of the envelope contents. <IMAGE>
