Device and method are presented for conveying a substantially flat article from a first support surface onto a second support surface, wherein the first support surface transports the article in a conveying direction. The device comprises a support assembly and a drive means for driving a reciprocating movement of the support assembly in a predetermined direction. The support assembly is associated with the second support surface and is adapted for supporting a leading portion of the article. The support assembly supportingly engages the leading portion of the article ensuing from the first support surface, when the article reaches a first predetermined position, and disengages support of the leading portion of the article, when the article reaches a second predetermined position, relative to the second support surface. |
