Abstract:
Device for removing flat products positioned upright, comprising:feeding channels for receiving the products, the channels including feed stopping members;removing members for taking products from the feeding channels; anddrive and control means for moving the removing members in a first direction and in a second direction, the first direction being a driving direction in a closed conveyor track to be followed by the removing members and the second direction being transverse to the first direction, the feeding channels running obliquely to the first direction of movement in longitudinal direction, and enclosing an acute-angle downstream of an imaginary point of intersection between the first direction and one of the feeding channels, the removing members being elongated in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, each of the removing members including a front side having a first part parallel to the longitudinal direction of the feeding channels and a second part substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the first part being located at an outer end at a side of the feeding channels, the control means forcing the removing members into a compound movement approximately perpendicular to the feeding channels and returning the removing members to a fixed determined starting point for each subsequent feeding channel.
