The invention concerns an apparatus for conveying objects transversely to their direction of initial transport. In apparatuses of this kind there re provided two conveying elements, which are areanged on a common sliding element in the region of a dividing gap. The sliding element is simultaneously also the equalising element for the conveying elements in case of displacement of the sliding element. As both tensioning or guiding rollers and the equalizing rollers are arranged on the sliding element, it has a long length, so that the path of displacement is limited. It is now the object of the invention to provide an apparatus which ensures a longer path of displacement of the conveying elements, so that more flexible separation of a stream of reams deposited on the apparatus can take place. This is achieved by the fact that the sliding element and the equalizing element are separate elements. As a result, an arrangement which is very compact and so allows a longer path of displacement is provided.
