Abstract
A device is intended for receiving one by one from an entry conveyor (2) flat objects moving along in the same plane in a first direction and for displacing them one by one towards an exit conveyor (5) includes reception conveyor (11) including a plurality of receptacles (12) movable over at least a part of their path in a second direction (F1) substantially orthogonal to the the first direction (F2), each receptacle being capable of receiving a flat object bearing in a position which is slightly inclined with respect to vertical, and a stationary station (7) for reception and stopping in a position which is slightly inclined with respect to vertical of the flat objects originating from the entry conveyor. The stationary reception station (7) is interposed in the part of the path and has a form matching that of the receptacles (12) so that an object bearing on the reception station is transferred in the second direction (F1) bearing in a receptacle (12) upon passage of the latter in the plane of the reception station ( 7).
