Abstract
The present invention relates to a product conveying and product support system for conveying objects (18), such as luggage or packages, and comprises a number of subsequently arranged conveying elements (12) defining a conveying direction. The system comprises at least one first brush element (20) for supporting objects (18) and has a base element (24) and a number of elongated deflector elements (26) connected to the base element (24) and connected to the conveying elements (12) at an oblique angle in relation to said conveying direction.
Claims18
A product conveying system for conveying objects, such as luggage or packages, comprising:
- a number of subsequently arranged conveying elements defining a conveying direction, wherein each conveying element comprises at least two subsequently arranged conveying rollers or two subsequently arranged conveyor belts, wherein a gap is formed between any two of said subsequently arranged conveying elements;
- and
- at least one brush element disposed within each gap between two subsequently arranged conveying elements for supporting said objects to be conveyed and preventing objects from getting stuck within the gap between two subsequently arranged conveying elements,
- wherein said subsequently arranged conveying rollers or subsequently arranged conveyor belts comprise a moveable conveying surface for contacting said objects,
- wherein each brush element comprises a base element located within the gap between two subsequently arranged conveying elements and a number of elongated deflector elements extending from said base element, and
- wherein said elongated deflector elements form an oblique angle in relation to said conveying direction.
A product support system for use in a product conveying system, comprising:
- at least two subsequently arranged conveying elements having a gap formed therebetween;
- and
- at least a first brush element disposed within said gap between said conveying elements for supporting said objects to be conveyed and preventing objects from getting stuck in the gap between the two subsequently arranged conveying elements, said first brush element having a base element located within the gap between two subsequently arranged conveying elements and a number of elongated deflector elements connected to and extending from an upper surface of said base element and suitable for being connected to said conveying elements at an oblique angle in relation to a conveying direction, said deflector elements being arranged at different angles and an upper end of said deflector elements defining a deflector surface having an area covering a larger surface area compared to said upper surface of said base element.
