ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating and conveying substantially rectangular, plate-like objects has a delivery conveyor, a removal conveyor situated adjacent the delivery conveyor and having a transporting direction substantially parallel to the transporting direction of the delivery conveyor; and a fork gripper mechanism for sequentially transferring the objects from the delivery conveyor to the removal conveyor. The fork gripper mechanism includes two rotationally movably mounted gripper fingers arranged for gripping one object at a time on the delivery conveyor and a drive for moving the gripper fingers towards one another to grip an object on the delivery conveyor, for translating the gripper fingers with the object from the delivery conveyor to the removal conveyor at an obtuse angle with the transporting direction so that during the transfer of the object from the delivery conveyor to the removal conveyor the object is displaced by a given distance in the transporting direction, for moving the gripper fingers away from one another to release the object on the removal conveyor, and for lifting the gripper fingers on a return path over the objects on the removal conveyor and on the delivery conveyor.
