Abstract:
A device for conveying separate objects, the device comprising:a guideway; a conveying arm; a conveyor transport belt running on said conveying arm with a distance between a strand of said transport belt facing the guideway and said guideway being smaller than the smallest height of the objects above said guideway, wherein the objects can be grasped by said strand facing said guideway and can be conveyed on said guideway, wherein static friction and/or sliding friction forces between the objects and the strand are greater than the static friction and/or sliding friction forces between the objects and the guideway, said transport belt being a lamella belt, said strand of said lamella belt facing said guideway being guided over an entire longitudinal extension of said conveying arm along a support surface of said conveying arm with lamella tips pointing toward said guideway, said support surface being disposed relative to said guideway to define a lamella tip distance from said guideway which is smaller than the smallest height of an object above said guideway, and said support surface having a wedge-shaped inlet area on an inlet side of said conveying arm.
