Abstract
A workpiece carrier device intended to be placed loosely on friction conveyors comprises a motion element. The motion element has a friction surface contacting a friction conveyor for the transfer of movement by means of friction forces. The motion element is connected with a carrier element through a connecting element. The connecting element further comprises a pressing element which exerts a contact pressure force from the carrier element on the motion element in the direction of the friction conveyor when the motion element is moved in the direction of transport.
Claims16
A workpiece carrier device intended to be placed loosely on friction conveyors, comprising
- a motion element having a friction surface contacting a friction conveyor for the transfer of movement by means of friction forces, and
- a carrier element for receiving a workpiece, said element being connected with the motion element through a connecting element,
- wherein
- the connecting element comprises a pressing element which is configured such that, due to the weight of the carrier element and/or of the workpiece arranged on the carrier element, it exerts a contact pressure force from the carrier element on the motion element in the direction of the friction conveyor when the motion element is moved in the direction of transport.
