Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for deflecting a web of material moving in its longitudinal direction, both into a plane situated at right angles to the surface of the web and into a plane situated in the surface of the web, whereby a supporting element provided for the web during its deflection is an endless flat belt which the web mounts before it is deflected and which the web leaves after its deflection and cylindrical rollers and deflecting bodies in the form of tube and/or tube segments having supporting means on their circumferential surface are provided which guide the endless belt to deflect the web and subsequently return the belt to the point where the web mounts the belt.
