Claim:
Device for separation of individual flat, bendable objects from the underside of a stack of such objects and for transporting the separated objects away, which device comprises: a stacking space with supporting arrangement supporting the stack from beneath, circulating separation and transportation devices for separation of the objects from the underside of the stack, and an arrangement for onward transportation of the separated objects, wherein the supporting arrangement is a roll bed conveyor comprising a plurality of circulating rollers, wherein the rollers are respectively rotatable around their longitudinal axis and are moved along a circuit and hereby moved through under the stack in a supporting region in a manner aligned to the separation and transportation devices, wherein the rollers are coupled by means of a respective coupling to at least one roller wheel and that by means of this coupling the longitudinal axes of the rollers are respectively pivotable in relation to the roller wheel and the rollers are pivoted by means of a control element in a release region of the orbit and thereby create an opening through which the arrangement for onward transportation is routed wherein the control element is at least one fixed control cam on which the rollers roll and thus are pivoted, the control cam being arranged on the inside of the orbit and thus presses open the rollers and the roll bed conveyor from the inside.
