Claim:
Device for separation of individual flat, bendable objects from the underside of a stack of such objects and for the onward transportation of such objects, comprising: a stacking space with a supporting unit supporting the stack from beneath, wherein the supporting unit is a roll bed conveyor consisting of a plurality of circulating, freely rotatable rollers; circulating suction devices and grippers for separation of objects from the underside of the stack, that are coupled to a carrier wheel arranged under the supporting unit with a substantially horizontal axis (A); an onward transportation device; and a supporting region; wherein the rollers are aligned with the suction devices and the grippers in the supporting region and are moved through the supporting region underneath the stack; further comprising at least one roller wheel arranged coaxially to the carrier wheel and a roller guide defining a circulating path of the rollers; wherein the rollers are coupled to the roller wheel by means of levers, wherein the levers are mounted rotatably to the roller wheel and rotate relative to the roller wheel parallel to a rotation plane of the roller wheel, and wherein the carrier wheel and the roller wheel are drivable to rotate at identical angular speeds.
