  • Switching device modifying conditions under which a load travels along a conveyor
    Patent number: 6116405
    Abstract: A switching device, for use with a conveyor, having at least two juxtaposed driven switching rolls on the periphery of each of which several turns of a chain with rollers are wound and attached. The axis of rotation of the rollers form an angle in a range between 0 degrees to 60 degrees relative to the axis of rotation of the switching rolls. Each roller is free to rotate relative to a corresponding link, and projects beyond an outer diameter of the link to contact a load in a support plane defined by other rolls of the conveyor.
