1. A system for repositioning flat-disposed objects that can be arranged in an overlapping manner at a system inlet, the objects having a same initial orientation with reference to one another along a substantially linear and horizontal inlet path, the system including:
a first lateral deviation conveyor and a second lateral deviation conveyor, each having an inlet located downstream the system inlet and an outlet located immediately upstream the system outlet, the first lateral deviation conveyor defining a first deviation path having at least one horizontal and curved segment and the second lateral deviation conveyor defining a second deviation path having at least one horizontal and curved segment, the outlet of the first lateral deviation conveyor and the outlet of the second lateral deviation conveyor being laterally spaced apart from one another and being respectively located on a right side and on a left side of a common receiving zone located at the system outlet, the two deviation paths having directions that are, at the outlets to the lateral deviation conveyors, substantially parallel and diametrically opposite to one another; and a diverting device having one inlet and two distinct outlets, one for each lateral deviation conveyor, the inlet of the diverting device being in registry with the object inlet path and each diverting device outlet being located, one at a time, at a respective position where the outlet is immediately upstream the inlet of the corresponding lateral deviation conveyor to sequentially create, between the system inlet and the system outlet, a first transport circuit passing through the first deviation path and ending on the right side of the common receiving zone, and a second transport circuit passing through the second deviation path and ending on the left side of the common receiving zone, to invert the orientation of the objects transported in the first transport circuit with reference to the objects transported in the second transport circuit. |
