FIELD: transportation of flat articles by conveyors with pushers. SUBSTANCE: device has conveyor with drive traction members and flat carrying surface on base. Turnover device is built into conveyor. Traction member have fitted on pushers which are uniformly spaced in cross rows. Turnover device is made in form of feed mechanism with working member, guide plate secured on flat carrying surface, smoothly turned upwards and tilted towards side of transportation. Tangent line to working surface in lower part of guide plate coincides with flat carrying surface. Traction member has also curvilinear guide plate whose starting section coincides in direction with end free section of curved guide plate. Working member of feed mechanism is made in form of overturning lever with two intersecting faces tilted to side opposite to direction of transportation. Overturning lever is hinge-mounted on axle secured on crossmember. Feed mechanism has slider installed for movement along longitudinal guides in parallel with load carrying surface, crossmember arranged above load carrying surface and mounted on slider and drive mechanism to move slider with crossmember and overturning lever in forward and backward directions along longitudinal guides at a speed greater than speed of pushers. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 7 cl, 8 dwg
