Conveyor belt for plate elements and converting machine comprising such a belt

摘要

A conveyor belt for conveying plate elements in a machine for converting the elements that includes a belt body with longitudinal edges, joining edges, and a support surface for supporting the elements, and at least one assembly member arranged to join the joining edges, and extending in a direction of assembly which is oblique to the longitudinal direction, the belt body having a plurality of perforations for obtaining a vacuum on the support surface to immobilize the elements.

主权项

1. A conveyor belt, for conveying plate elements along a longitudinal direction, in a machine for converting the plate elements, the conveyor belt comprising:
a belt body that comprises longitudinal edges, joining edges including a first joining edge and a second joining edge, and a support surface shaped for supporting the plate elements, and at least one assembly member arranged to join the first joining edge with the second joining edge, the least one assembly member extending in a direction of assembly which is oblique to the longitudinal direction, wherein the belt body has a plurality of perforations disposed for obtaining a vacuum on the support surface to immobilize the plate elements on the belt body, and wherein perforations of the plurality of perforations are provided in immediate proximity to the at least one assembly member such that a shortest distance between a first perforation of the plurality of perforations formed at the first joining edge and a second perforation of the plurality of perforations formed at the second joining edge is equal to a shortest distance between two perforations of the plurality of perforations formed in the belt body.
