Patent number: 9359145Abstract: A roller driven device for roller conveyors includes a cylindrical and tubular roller configured to rotate around its geometric axis, and having at each end a respective first lateral wheel and a second lateral wheel. At least the first lateral wheel has a tubular cylindrical element having at its end facing the second lateral wheel a first flange and at the opposite end a second flange. The device further includes a ring whose axial length ranges from two thirds to one twentieth of the axial distance between the first flange and the second flange of the first lateral wheel. An end of the ring is positioned between the first flange and the second flange and the end is fixed to the outer surface of the roller, where the end portion of the roller is fixed at the central hole of the second flange.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2015Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Dugomrulli S.r.l.Inventor: Giorgio Gamberini

Patent number: 8602207Abstract: A conveyor-belt linking apparatus utilizes a movable frame slidably disposed on a predetermined supporting surface, a plurality of pivot shafts disposed on the movable frame to support a load object, at least one primary driving element disposed between the movable frame and the predetermined supporting surface to drive the movable frame to reciprocally and slidably move along a predetermined direction, and an engaging driving assembly including a side driving element capable of being outwardly input with a power and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly capable of synchronically sliding with the movable frame is connected to the side driving element for transmitting the power of the side driving element to rotate each of the pivot shafts. With the movable frame capable of sliding between two conveying positions, the defects of inclination, vibration and sway of the load object resulted from a large clearance between the pivot shafts can be decreased.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Inventor: Wen Yuan Chang

Patent number: 7992705Abstract: A conveyor device is formed with roller units arranged continuously on conveyor frames (10, 10?). Each of the roller units includes a rotating body (110) having a cylindrical part (111) rotatably supported around a predetermined axis (A) and being rotationally driven, a roller (120) rotatably supported by an outer periphery of the cylindrical part to carry an object being conveyed on the outer peripheral surface thereof, a pair of thrust plates (140, 150) arranged so as to be capable of pressing both side surfaces of the roller while holding the roller therebetween and rotating integrally with the cylindrical part; and a pressing force adjusting mechanism (160, 170, 180, 190) arranged inside the cylindrical part to adjust a pressing force with which the paired thrust plates press the roller while holding the roller therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Hirata CorporationInventor: Hiroyuki Shiga
