Abstract
A transport device for transporting sheet elements into a folder-gluer comprising two longitudinal support structures between which there extend one or more movement slides, one or more lead screws and a drive shaft for a belt. At least one longitudinal member supports at least one endless conveyor belt driven by the shaft. The longitudinal member is mounted in sliding connection on the movement slides and on the drive shaft and is in helical connection with the lead screws. A protecting device over the drive shaft blocks user access to the shaft. It is illustrated as a profile over the shaft and slide. The protecting device transversely connects the two longitudinal support structures.

A transport device for transporting sheet elements into a folder-gluer comprising:
- two longitudinal support structures laterally spaced apart, at least one movement slide extending between the support structures;
- at least one longitudinal member located between the support structures, at least one endless conveyor belt supported to move along each respective longitudinal member;
- a drive shaft operable to drive the belt to convey sheet elements;
- the at least one longitudinal member being mounted in sliding connection on the at least one movement slide to be moved along the at least one slide between the support structures and also along the drive shaft and
- at least one lead screw extending to the longitudinal member in a direction from one support structure, the at least one longitudinal member is in helical connection with the at least one lead screw;
- a protecting device shaped to prevent user access to the drive shaft and shaped to transversely connect the two longitudinal support structures.
