Abstract
An apparatus for transferring small goods from a main conveyor belt onto a branch-off conveyor belt, the apparatus including a pivotal lateral guide perpendicular to the conveyor belt. The main conveyor belt as well as the beginning of the branch-off conveyor belt are provided with a pivotal module, with each module including two lateral conveyor belts that are perpendicular to the conveyor belt and the lateral conveyor belts of the pivotal module of the main conveyor belt have the same length while the lateral conveyor belts of the pivotal module of the branch-off conveyor belt have different lengths, with the difference in length corresponding to the offset of the lateral conveyor belts of the main conveyor belt in the pivoted-out state.
Claims3
An apparatus for transferring small goods from a main conveyor belt (1) to a branch-off conveyor belt (2), the apparatus including a pivotal lateral guide perpendicular to the conveyor belt, characterized in that a pivotal module (3) is provided in the main conveyor belt (1) as well as at the beginning of the branch-off conveyor belt (2), with each module (3) including two lateral conveyor belts (4) that are perpendicular to the conveyor belt and the lateral conveyor belts (4) of the pivotal module (3) of the main conveyor belt (1) have the same length and the lateral conveyor belts (4) of the pivotal module of the branch-off conveyor belt (2) have different lengths, with the difference in length corresponding to the offset of the lateral conveyor belts of the main conveyor belt when pivoted out.
