Abstract: In a baking oven comprising at least one hearth, a baking conveyor belt, which is guided over a deflection roller, is allocated to each hearth. The deflection roller is extended out of the baking oven through openings where it is lodged for displacement in the direction of the oven. A sealing arrangement is provided for this opening to be sealed, comprising a base plate and a sealing disk resting tightly thereon. The sealing disk is pivotally supported on the deflection roller and simultaneously lodged in a guiding groove in the base plate by means of a guide pin. The edge of the sealing disk is shaped such that on the one hand it covers the opening in all the positions of displacement and on the other hand is displaced in the direction of displacement only by a length which is considerably shorter than the length of displacement of the deflection roller.

Abstract: Suspension transport systems which operate automatically or predominantly automatically and which are used for the transport of spools make use of whole trains on which a plurality of spools is arranged. This, however, means that, e.g., in a ring spinning frame, the whole train will have to be exchanged when the first spool is empty. In order to avoid the resultant waste and in order to provide increased flexibility in the motion of the spools used in such a system of automatized or largely automatized operation, the present suspension transport system uses spools equipped with a travelling device of their own, the travelling device remaining on the spool when the spool is inserted into a processing machine. It is thus possible to handle each spool individually, as well as in a train. The suspension transport system is particlarly suitable for transverse insertion into a ring spinning frame.

Abstract: A suspension conveyor wherein the driving force acts on casters of a carriage, comprises a drive-transmitting assembly having a resiliently deformable drag material with its rear side supported by a backup support. During drive-transmitting operation, the drag material is compressed between the carriage and the drive-transmitting member resulting in the exertion of a perpendicularly oriented force.

Abstract: Described in a suspension conveyor system suitable for the use of conveyance units having two travelling rollers interconnected by an open yoke. The suspension conveyor system is universally applicable and capable of optimum adaptation to operating and space conditions in a given plant. To this purpose the system comprises changeover means selectively operable to tilt a conveyance unit to a left or right laterally suspended position or a center-suspended position to thereby permit for instance the radii of curved rail sections to be considerably shortened and particularly achieve a less complicated construction of required switches. In a preferred embodiment the switch is formed as an integral shaped member, so that the continuity of the rail circuit has not to be interrupted for guiding a conveyance unit onto selected branch rails.
