Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9935612A1] The invention relates to a device comprising a conveyor device (10) and a counting device (16). The conveyor device (10) is used to transport objects (12) arranged in an overlapping arrangement (S) in the direction of conveyance (F) at the conveying speed (v1). A slide (20) mounted on a guiding rail (18') of the counting device (16) is moved cyclically in and against the direction of conveyance (F) by means of the drive (24'). The drive frequency of the slide (20) is greater than the frequency with which the objects arrive and the speed (v) in the direction of conveyance (F) in at least one section of the guiding rail (18') is greater than the conveying speed (v1). A contact element (30) and a catch element (32) are fixed to the slide (20). When the contact element (30) catches up with an object it is moved by the rear edge (14) against the direction of conveyance (F) for closing an electric contact (38, 38') and the catch element (32) comes into contact with the rear edge (14). When the slide (20) is moved further in the direction of conveyance (F) at speed (v) the object concerned (12) is displaced in the direction of conveyance (F).
