ABSTRACT:
Flat, rectangular items are, in a contacting series, conveyed by an input conveyor to an output conveyor, on which the items are to be further advanced by pusher members such that those sides of the items which were transversely oriented with respect to the advancing direction on the input conveyor are parallel to the advancing direction on the output conveyor and further, that the items are spaced from one another on the output conveyor. The angle defined by the directions of advance on the two conveyors is less than 90.degree.. In the zone of reorientation each item is engaged by a pusher member from behind and is pushed off laterally from the input conveyor onto the output conveyor. At the same time, a moving reorienting member engages a frontal part of the item and, while a diametrically opposite item corner is in engagement with an abutment, the reorienting member moves the item into alignment with a guide oriented parallel to the direction of advance of the output conveyor.
