  • Patent number: 10759608
    Abstract: A separating apparatus (10) for separating crossed hooks (21a-d) of overhead conveyor units (2a-d) includes a conveying cylinder (1) having a recess (11) which forms a helical thread (12) with helix base (121) and helix flanks (122, 123) for the conveyance of the hooks (21a-d). The conveying cylinder (1) includes at least, one wing-shaped separating element (13), which extends over a partial circumference of the conveying cylinder (1) and protrudes in the radial direction from the peripheral surface of the conveying cylinder (1), wherein the separating element (13), by rotation of the conveying cylinder (1), is insertable between two hooks (21a-d) resting on the conveying cylinder (1).

  • Patent number: 8915350
    Abstract: A device and a method for rearranging flexible flat items, in particular printed products, which are delivered continuously in a delivery flow, relative to the delivery direction of the delivery flow. The items are delivered in an incoming delivery flow in a first delivery direction and with substantially identical orientation of the surface normals thereof, and in a predetermined cycle, to a diverting region. There, the delivery in the first delivery direction is ended and the individual items are accelerated in a second delivery direction, which is perpendicular to the first delivery direction and to the orientation of the surface normals in the incoming delivery flow, by an acceleration element which acts on the items in the diverting region in a predetermined cycle. The delivery flow moving in the second delivery direction is subsequently diverted.

  • Publication number: 20110256998
    Abstract: A device for forming a tube from a material web, in particular a film, which can be used for example for wrapping articles conveyed in a series one behind the other, and relates to a corresponding operating method. The device includes a bearing device for a roll of material web, a deflecting device for the material web and a drawing device, which is capable of moving the material web through the deflecting device. In the deflecting device, at least one first deflecting edge and one second deflecting edge are formed, wherein the first deflecting edge is shaped for deflecting the material web substantially transversely in relation to the longitudinal direction of the material web and wherein the at least one second deflecting edge is formed for folding the material web along at least one line running in the longitudinal direction.
