ABSTRACT:
A flat article separating apparatus for separating overlapping articles traveling along a feeding belt is disclosed. The apparatus includes a slipping section for causing overlapping articles to slip with respect to each other. Thereafter, the articles pass through a detector which detects the presence of an article and in response to such a detection, activates a moving roller aligned with a branching section of the feeding belt to cause the belt in the area of the branching section to bend. Bending of the feeding belt in the vicinity of the branching section allows the article in the branching section to be directed to a branch path of the feeding belt. Articles whose leading edges have passed the branching section at the time the moving roller is activated, continue to move along the main path of the feeding belt.
