Abstract:
A device and a method for discharging objects having an axially symmetrical base surface. The axially symmetrical base surface has the shape of regular polygon with a five-fold axial symmetry. The device comprises an aligning unit, a discharge unit, and a transport unit, on which the objects are conveyed in a single row and in a mutually spaced manner from the aligning unit to the discharge unit. At least one railing is provided on one side of the transport unit at least in the region of the aligning unit.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for discharging objects with an axially symmetrical base surface, wherein the axially symmetrical base surface has the shape of a regular polygon with a three-, five-, or seven-fold axial symmetry, comprising the following steps:\n conveying the objects on a transport unit; aligning the objects conveyed on the transport unit using an aligning unit; and discharging the aligned objects using an aligning unit, wherein the objects are conveyed on the transport unit in a single row and in a mutually space manner from the aligning unit to the discharge unit, and wherein the transport unit is provided with a lateral railing at least in the region of the aligning unit, wherein the aligning unit is configured such that the objects are pressed against the lateral railing and are aligned in the process such that an axis of symmetry of the axially symmetrical base surface of the objects extends on the transport plane perpendicularly to lateral railing and wherein the aligning unit is oriented such that one of the corners of the base surface of the object points in the direction in which the objects are discharged.
