Abstract

See full text

A system (1) for directing sheet articles (2) in arrival from an input line (L1) towards two output lines has first gripping and drawing devices for gripping and drawing the sheet articles (2) for release in a directing region (37). The sheet articles are then deviated along a first (D1) or a second (D2) orientating direction. Second gripping and drawing devices move the sheet articles (2) along the direction region. First and second counter-rotating pairs of rollers face one another and grip the sheet articles to move them towards the second (5) and third (6) gripping and drawing devices, all the devices and rollers being arranged and operating with respect to one another such that during transit through the directing region (37) the advancing sheet articles (2) are subjected to constant gripping by at least one device or one pair of rollers.
