Abstract

A diverter for paper and cardboard sheets has upper and lower guide elements between the incoming conveyor and two outgoing conveyors including an acute angle with one another, constructed so that the upper and lower guide elements are pivoted respectively about horizontal axes above and below the travel path and links are pivotally connected to these guide elements spaced from their pivot axes so that a four-point linkage of the guide elements is provided. The upper guide element is driven by a pivot drive and entrains the lower guide element via the links.
