Abstract
The invention relates to a device for transporting individual products (1) of in particular predefined dimensions in a transport direction A, wherein the device comprises two upper belt segments (2, 3) adjacent to each other at a transition point (8), having variable length in the transport direction and each extending from an inner deflection (7, 8) designed at the transition point (6) to an outer deflection (9, 10) designed at the other end, wherein the two upper belt segments (2, 3) each are supported by a plurality of support means (11) spaced apart from each other in the transport direction, the distance between same changing as the length of the upper belt segments (2, 3) varies.
