Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005108257A1] A device (2) is described for separating and conveying towards a packaging station (5) a predetermined number of flat objects fed in piles (13. 13') by a folding unit (1). The device (2) comprises: a conveying surface (20, 120) provided with a plurality of slots (21), a plurality of shoes or carriages (24) which support a plurality of racks (31) moveable from a lowered position to a raised position in which the prongs (32) of the racks pass through the slots (21) of the conveying surface (20, 120) to protrude upward therefrom. A predetermined number of flat objects are separated from a pile (13, 13') being formed to form a pack (113, 113') between a pair of racks (31) supported by a pair of carriages (24), which are made to translate so as to convey the pack (113, 113') towards the packaging station (5).
