Abstract:
Transport device for rerouting flat mail pieces (6) that are transported clamped between an endless lower band (1) and an elastic endless upper band (2), characterized by the fact that the lower band (1) is guided on a stationary, immovable guide element (3) with a sliding surface that has the shape of a curved element, wherein the sliding surface of the curved segment has a lower coeficient of friction than the lower band (1) and the mail pieces (6), the lower band (1) has a lower coefficient of friction on a side facing the guide element (3) than on a side facing the non-driven upper band (2) and the mail pieces (6), and the lower band (1) is deflected inward by means of deflection rolls (7) such that the lower band is partially looped around a driving roll (5) arranged within the guide element (3).
