For converting a stream of flat articles (5), e.g., of stacks of different part products to be supplied to a binding machine, from transverse conveyance to parallel conveyance, two continuously operated conveyors (1 and 2) are provided, a transverse conveyor (1) having a direction (FQ) of transverse conveyance and serving as supplying conveyor (I) and a parallel conveyor (2) having a direction (FP) of parallel conveyance and serving as removing conveyor. The direction (FQ) of transverse conveyance and the direction (FP) of parallel conveyance encompas s an angle. The articles (5) are pushed one after the other out of an outlet (13) of the supplying conveyor towards an entrance (21) of the removing conveyor. Before a trailing zone of the article (5) has left the supplying conveyor, a leading zone of the article is grasped by an alignment means (3) and is conveyed onwards with th e speed of the parallel conveyor (2) in the direction (FP) of parallel conveyance an d is such aligned to the entrance (21 ) of the removing conveyor, while the trailing zone is bent between the alignment means (3) and the outlet (13) of the supplying conveyo r. The stream conversion can also be operated in the reverse sense and again with continuously operated conveyors and nonetheless the articles are at all time s during conversion safely guided.
