The at least one profile body includes a longitudinally running, cross-sectionally concave recess that defines a guide surface for a conveying device. The at least one profile body further includes a longitudinally running, outwardly directed insert strip. The at least one profile body of the at least one guide rail is held on the holding device via the insert strip inserted into the slot-like receiver.

Abstract: A conveying chain including a plurality of chain links connected to each other. The chain links are connected to each other via articulated connections so as to each be pivotable about a first axis and about a second axis oriented perpendicular to the first axis in order to form the conveying chain. The conveying chain is constructed of identical chain links. The chain links each include a receptacle on a first end section and a coupling body on a second end section that engages in the receptacle of an adjacent chain link, wherein the receptacle and the coupling body are shaped such that the receptacle and the coupling body can be connected to each other via an insertion-rotation motion in order to form the articulated connection.

Abstract: A chain link of a conveying chain, containing a base body with a first end region which comprises a first coupling section for the articulated connection to a coupling section of a first adjacent chain link, and with a second end region which comprises a second coupling section for the articulated connection to a coupling section of a second adjacent chain link. The base body comprises an intermediate region lying between the two end regions and includes a body section with bending-elastic characteristics, which is designed such that the first end region is elastically bendable relative to the second end region out of the longitudinal direction of the base body.

Abstract: A plate element of a conveyor and a conveyor which comprises a plurality of these plate elements. The plate element comprises a fastening device to fasten the plate element on a conveying element. A first overlapping region with prongs is formed on the element at a first end section. A second overlapping region with a guide base and projections arranged thereon is formed at a second end section which lies opposite the first end section of the plate element. The first overlapping region is complementary to the second overlapping region. The first overlapping region and the second overlapping region form at least a part of the plate conveying surface The projections of the guide base and the prongs are curved. Optionally, the prongs have a trapezoidal cross section. The guide base comprises at least one opening passing through the guide base between the projections.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus by means of which sheet like products which follow one after the other along a feed section are transferred to a conveying arrangement with individually controllable grippers which can be moved in the conveying direction, are arranged one behind the other and are designed for gripping the products at their leading edge, the feed section having, in its end region which is directed toward the conveying arrangement, a conveying nip, in which the sheet-like products are retained, at least in part, on both sides, in the case of which apparatus, in the product-receiving region of the grippers, a positive stop, which is active during each product transfer, is provided for the leading edges of the products, the spacing between the positive stop and conveying nip being selected such that the trailing edges of the products are still located in the conveying nip when the leading edges strike against the positive stop.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for gathering flat articles (5) into stacks (9) by conveying stacks in production successively along a gathering route (1) past feed stations. The stacks (9) are conveyed on stack supports (2) with supporting surfaces (7). Leading edges (5.1) of the articles (5) to be added to the stacks are held by holding elements (4) that move in a supply route (3) that traverses the gathering route (1) at the feed stations. Each article (5) is inserted between successive stacks (9) or stack supports (2), with the leading edge (5.1) being inserted first. The inserted article is released from its associated holding element (4) and then positioned on the upstream or downstream stack (9) or stack support (2) by the force of gravity and/or by its own inertia, and the holding element (4) is conveyed onwards in a downward direction.

Abstract: For the horizontal positioning of serially supplied, flat objects (1) to be conveyed onward, the objects (1) are supplied suspended, one of their main surfaces (10) facing downstream and the other main surface (11) facing upstream. Prior to positioning, lower edge zones (13) of the objects (1) are selectively accelerated or retarded relative to the upper edge zones (12), so that the objects (1) are brought into a position inclined relative to the vertical. Thereafter, the upper edge zones (12) are released and the objects (1), under the influence of gravity, are positioned on an onward conveying device, selectively either the downstream or the upstream main surface (10 or 11) facing upwards. For retarding or accelerating the lower edge zones (13), for example, a conveyor belt or two conveyor belts adjoining one another are utilized. The speed (v.3) of the conveyor belts is adjustable to convert from accelerating operation to retarding operation.

Abstract: Flat articles are taken over from a supply device supplying the products e.g. in the form of an imbricated stream and, for creating groups, are transferred to a conveying-away device. Thereby the supply direction and the conveying-away direction are angled in the horizontal plan view. For the transfer of the articles devices are used having a circulating conveying organ with laterally protruding gripper arms and grippers arranged on the gripper arms. The circulation track of the conveying organ extends in a take-over direction through a take-over zone and in a transfer direction through a transfer zone and represents a deflection between take-over and transfer zone.
