Abstract

Device for separating bodies with: a conveying device comprising at least one rim proceeding in the conveying direction; at least one guiding device which is permanently mounted at a distance which is significantly smaller than the dimensions perpendicular to the conveying device of the bodies to be separated, which guiding device comprises a deflector which forms an angle with the direction of movement of the conveying device; and a feeding position for the bodies. In order to allow a reliable separation of the bodies, it is provided that the deflector of the guiding device with its--viewed in the conveying direction--trailing edge ends at a distance before the nearest rim of the conveying device, so that an unobstructed conveying path for the bodies to be separated remains between the trailing edge of the deflector and the nearest rim of the conveying device.
