#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a transfer module including transfer components with drives and transfer clamping areas (K1, K2), respectively. One transfer component carries a flat article from another transfer component, temporarily accommodates the article in the area (K2), transports the article by one drive in the area (K2) and transfers the article to a lead-away module. The device is designed such that a path covering the article between the area (K1) and a lead-away clamping area (W-K) and the areas (K2, W-K) is larger than length of the article in a transport direction (T). #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for transporting a flat article in a transport direction. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for transporting a flat article i.e. postal item, in a transport direction in a sorting system that is utilized for sorting postal items. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The design of the device enables operation of the transfer module on the flat article with less speed, without dragging or compressing the article, thus obtaining difference between the supply and lead-away speeds in the device. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a plan view of a device for transporting a flat article in a transport direction with a supply module, two transfer components and a lead-away module. K1, K2 : Transfer clamping areas T : Transport direction W-K : Lead-away clamping area Z-K : Supply-clamping area 1-12, 14, 15, 17 : Belt pulleys 13, 17 : Belt deflection rollers. |
