Abstract
A description is given of a device for separating from each other a plurality of objects (R) which are adjacent to each other and are being fed in a direction of advance (F) along an advance path (21), comprising a member (37) which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (37A) and is positioned, with respect to the direction of advance, in such a way that it interferes with the articles (R) fed along said advance path. The peripheral velocity of said rotatable member at the point of contact between said member and said articles has a component substantially matching the direction of advance of the articles along said path.

A device for separating from each other a plurality of articles which are in contact to each other and are being fed in a direction of advance along an advance path, comprising a support on which articles are advanced and a member which is driven into rotation and rotatable about an axis of rotation and is positioned, with respect to the direction of advance, in such a way that the member interferes with the articles fed along said advance path, the peripheral velocity of said member in rotation at a point of contact between said member and one of said articles having a directional component substantially oriented to the direction of advance of said articles along said path, said member striking each article forcing the article to detach from a following article.
