METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SELECTIVELY TIPPING OBJECTS
The invention relates to a device for selectively tipping an object, which stands on a conveying surface (3) extending in a longitudinal direction (4) with a standing surface of the object and which is moved in the longitudinal direction (4), onto a side surface, wherein the conveying surface (3), starting from an initial orientation, transitions over at least 90% of the width of the conveying surface into an inclined area (3a), which extends in the longitudinal direction (4) from an initial position (5a) to an end position (5b), at which the conveying surface (3) has an angle of inclination transverse to the longitudinal direction (4) that is at least 5° and at most 30° from the horizontal. The invention further relates to a method for selectively initiating a gravity-dependent tipping process of an object from a standing surface, on which the object is moved in a longitudinal direction (4) on a conveying surface (3) extending in the longitudinal direction (4), onto a side surface.
