  • Conveying system with a slide-over device between two belt conveyors, slide-over device and intermediate element with a slide-over surface
    Patent number: 7448490
    Abstract: A conveying system comprising an endless first conveyor belt circulating between at least first and second divert elements, a top run of the first conveyor belt forming a first conveying surface movable between the divert elements in a first conveying direction, and an endless second conveyor belt circulating between at least third and fourth divert elements, the top run of the second conveyor belt forming a movable second conveying surface movable between the divert elements in a second conveying direction, the second conveyor belt extending at least partly above and along the second divert element, so that the first and second conveyor belts, while including a gap-shaped interspace, are in mutually transverse alignment. In the interspace, intermediate elements, in particular fingers, are arranged that bridge the gap between the first and the second conveying surface.

  • Conveying system with a slide-over device between two belt conveyors, slide-over device and intermediate element with a slide-over surface
    Patent number: 7314130
    Abstract: A conveying system (1), comprising an endless first conveyor belt (3) circulating between at least first and second (2B) divert elements, a top run (4A) of the first conveyor belt (3) forming a first conveying surface (5) movable between the divert elements in a first conveying direction (P1), and an endless second conveyor belt (7) circulating between at least third and fourth divert elements, the top run (8A) of the second conveyor belt (7) forming a movable second conveying surface (9) movable between the divert elements in a second conveying direction (P2), the second conveyor belt (7) extending at least partly above and along the second divert element (2B), so that the first (3) and second (7) conveyor belts, while including a gap-shaped interspace (10), are in mutually transverse alignment. In the interspace (10), intermediate elements (T), in particular fingers, are arranged that bridge the gap between the first (5) and the second (9) conveying surface.
