Abstract
A conveyor device for transporting a peg tray carrying a bobbin thereon without being inclined during the transportation thereof. In a conveyor device in which a belt is arranged upright with respect to the direction of width thereof and a peg tray carrying a bobbin thereon is mounted on the edge portion of the belts to be transported by the belt, two belts are provided and arranged in such a way that they are in parallel with each other and the peg tray is mounted on each of the edge portions of the two belts.
Claims15
A conveyor device, comprising:
- a first moveable endless conveyor belt defining an edge and a run,
- a second moveable endless conveyor belt defining an edge and a run, the entire run of the first moveable conveyor belt being located within the entire run of the second moveable conveyor belt,
- a peg tray configured to carry an article thereon,
- the first and second conveyor belts being in mutually spaced, substantially parallel relationship,
- the peg tray being in simultaneous friction contact with the edge of the first conveyor belt and the edge of the second conveyor belt,
- whereby movement of the first and second conveyor belts causes movement of the peg tray.

A conveyor device comprising:
- a first moveable endless conveyor belt defining an edge,
- a second moveable endless conveyor belt defining an edge,
- a peg tray configured to carry an article thereon,
- the first and second conveyor belts being in mutually spaced, substantially parallel relationship,
- the peg tray being in simultaneous friction contact with the edge of the first conveyor belt and the edge of the second conveyor belt,
- wherein a portion of the conveyor device is positioned substantially adjacent a winder, wherein the first and second conveyor belts define a substantially constant mutual spacing, and wherein the mutual spacing between the first and second conveyor belts is relatively narrower in the portion of the conveyor device positioned substantially adjacent the winder,
- whereby movement of the first and second conveyor belts causes movement of the peg tray, and
- whereby transfer of the peg tray between the conveyor device and the winder is improved.
