Apparatus for transferring folded cartons

To a device (1) flat for transferring lying articles, particularly collapsed folding boxes (2), from a discharge station (4) to a receiving station (5), with at least one along a path (18) about an axis of rotation (8) pivotable or rotatable suction head (6) having at least one suction cup (7), wherein the suction head (6) is assigned a drive (9) to move the suction head (6) about the rotational axis (8), the suction head (6) is arranged an arm (10) radially movable, a linear drive (11) serves to the radial deflection of the suction head (6) and the linear drive (11) in the radial direction to the pivot axis (8) is aligned, a very large power or the subject extraction to achieve, it is proposed that the linear drive (11) is on the rotation axis (8), that one end (12) of the linear drive (11) on the suction head (6) and the other end (13) of the linear drive (11) 180 DEG is arranged offset to the axis of rotation (8), ingenious and ugsweise at a further suction head (6), and that the linear drive (11) is pivoted about the axis of rotation (8) or rotated.
