When rotating through this area 63 the needles 60 thus temporarily move away from the underside of the object 11 vertically back. So if the angular range 63 offset downwards in the area of the cutting plane of a sickle knife or the plane of rotation an ejection star is arranged, the needles 60 over the guide rollers 64 and the guide link 62 there sufficiently vertical moved down to collide with the rotating sickle knife or eject star to avoid.
  • the arrangement of needles shown in Figures 6a and 6b 60 as an alternative to the rotary valve 23 for driving the object 11 a rotational movement B can be used.
  • This alternative drive can the structure of the device according to the invention and the implementation simplify the inventive method. Especially is not the introduction of a radial slot 52 in the article 11 required.
  • By driving the object 11 by means of the arrangement of needles 60 can provide higher positioning accuracy in the Rotational movement B of the object 11 can be achieved since the object 11 both with respect to the direction of rotation B and counter to this direction is fixed.
  • the object 11 can be varied Angle of rotation about the central axis A can be moved.
