Abstract
A cheese conveying system has an interface belt centrally trough-shaped along its length and disposed to span between the outlets of two delivery belts and to extend therefrom to the inlet of a collection belt, by means of which cheeses transported from the delivery belts in a lying position roll transversely to the center of the interface belt to accomplish a gentle uncomplicated transfer of the bobbins from the delivery belts to the collection belt. The delivery belts are alternately actuable and the respectively delivery, interface and collecting belts are driven at the same speed.
Claims6
A textile cheese conveying system comprising at least two delivery belts each having a bobbin delivery outlet end, a collecting belt having a bobbin receiving end, and an interface interposed between the outlet ends of the delivery belts and the inlet end of the collecting belt for transferring bobbins from the delivery belts to the collecting belt, the interface including an interface belt having a transverse extent spanning between the outlet ends of the delivery belts for receiving bobbins from both thereof, the interface belt being of a trough shape in transverse cross-section to define a central bobbin collecting depression extending longitudinally along the interface belt and for inducing bobbins transferred onto the interface belt to roll transversely into the depression, means for alternately actuating the delivery belts, and means for actuating the interface belt and the delivery belts substantially at the same speed.
