Abstract:
A three-way diverter (1) having two paper guide elements (2, 3) which, in the area of the fork in the paper running paths (5, 6, 7, 8), are pivotably arranged upstream of the dividing points (9, 10) of the paper running paths (6 and 7, 7 and 8) in such a way that, in a first position, they connect the access (5) to the central outlet (7) and, as a result of one of the paper guide elements (2 or 3) in each case being pivoted into a second or third position, one of the outer outlets (6 or 8) for the paper run (4) is opened and the other outlets (7 and 8 or 6) are blocked, wherein the access (5) has stationary walls in the paper running direction (4) and, downstream of the access (5), there are on both sides depressions (11) which are sufficiently large that, in the second or third position, they accommodate both leading ends (12) of the paper guide elements (2, 3) in such a way that the latter lie to one side of the paper run (4).
