Abstract

The device for dividing a transport stream consisting of one line of successively arranged upright containers into two partial transport streams, each partial transport stream consisting of one line of successively arranged upright containers, has a feed device for conveying the transport stream of containers, and two distribution lines arranged at an angle to each other, each of which serves to accept one of the partial transport streams of containers in a transfer area of the feed device, the feed device and the two distribution lines thus forming a Y-shaped intersection in the transfer area. At least one driven roller with a substantially vertical axis of rotation is arranged between the two distribution lines in the transfer area of the feed device.
