Abstract

The device has a transportation roller (3) located between the feed and delivery conveyor systems (1,2). Two extended fence elements (4,5), parallel to each other, are located tangentially to the transportation roller. The transportation roller and fence elements are rotatable around a common axis (A) independently of each other in the region between the conveyor systems. Consequently, flat parcels (3a) fed through the first conveyor system are frictionally directed between one fence element and the transportation roller.
