Abstract
An apparatus for conveying products comprising at least one conveyor device being drivable by a drive shaft in order to supply the products to each of a plurality of output regions, wherein said conveyor device comprises a support structure which can be pivoted about an axis of rotation of said drive shaft for individually changing said output region. Said support structure is pivotably supported by a jointed arm arrangement at a support element spaced apart from said drive shaft such that, by moving said jointed arm arrangement, said support structure is pivotable about said axis of rotation of said drive shaft.

An apparatus for conveying products comprising:
- at least one conveyor device which is drivable by a drive shaft in order to supply said products to one of a plurality of output areas;
- wherein said conveyor device comprises a support structure which is pivotable for individually changing said output regions about an axis of rotation of the drive shaft;
- and
- wherein said support structure is pivotably supported by a jointed arm arrangement at a support element spaced apart from said drive shaft such that, by moving said jointed arm arrangement, said support structure is pivotable about said axis of rotation of said drive shaft, wherein the jointed arm arrangement comprises parallel kinematics with two parallel levers pivotably connected to the support structure at linkage points spaced apart from each other.
A conveyor line comprising:
- at least one input conveyor;
- and
- at least one apparatus for conveying products, said apparatus comprising at least one conveyor device which is drivable by a drive shaft in order to supply said products to one of a plurality of output areas, wherein said conveyor device comprises a support structure which is pivotable for individually changing said output regions about an axis of rotation of the drive shaft, wherein said support structure is pivotably supported by a jointed arm arrangement at a support element spaced apart from said drive shaft such that, by moving said jointed arm arrangement, said support structure is pivotable about said axis of rotation of said drive shaft, wherein the jointed arm arrangement comprises parallel kinematics with two parallel levers pivotably connected to the support structure at linkage points spaced apart from each other, and
- at least one reception device or buffer device with a plurality of output regions for receiving said conveyed products.
A production line comprising:
- at least one cutting device for slicing products;
- and
- at least one conveyor line comprising:
- at least one input conveyor;
- at least one apparatus for conveying products, said apparatus comprising at least one conveyor device which is drivable by a drive shaft in order to supply said products to one of a plurality of output areas, wherein said conveyor device comprises a support structure which is pivotable for individually changing said output regions about an axis of rotation of the drive shaft, wherein said support structure is pivotably supported by a jointed arm arrangement at a support element spaced apart from said drive shaft such that, by moving said jointed arm arrangement, said support structure is pivotable about said axis of rotation of said drive shaft, wherein the jointed arm arrangement comprises parallel kinematics with two parallel levers pivotably connected to the support structure at linkage points spaced apart from each other;
- and
- at least one reception device or buffer device with a plurality of output regions for receiving said conveyed products.
