Claim Text:
1. A deflection device for deflecting objects, comprising: an upstream conveyor which is adapted to transport objects on a first transport surface in a first direction of transport and to transfer them to a downstream conveyor; said downstream conveyor is adapted to transport objects on a second transport surface in a second direction of transport, said first direction of transport and said second direction of transport are aligned perpendicular to each other and said first transport surface and said second transport surface are substantially coplanar; a downstream assist conveyor which is adapted to transport objects on a third transport surface in said second direction of transport, said downstream assist conveyor is disposed alongside of said downstream conveyor and on one side towards said upstream conveyor, said second transport surface and said third transport surface are coplanar; and a first drive device of said downstream assist conveyor, where a drive shaft of the upstream conveyor is used for coupling a torque of said downstream assist conveyor, where an extension of one end of the drive shaft is provided beyond a bearing, and where the extension is via an angular gear connected to the first drive device of the downstream assist conveyor.
