Conveyor belt transport device for data carrying cards, e.g. chip cards, has a suction mechanism for transport of cards along the outer side of the lower belt arm that enables the easy removal of cards from the belt

摘要

Transport device for chip-card format data cards (12) has a conveyor belt (1) with an insertion region (13) for said cards. The cards are transported along the lower arm of the conveyor belt on its under side, being held in place by a vacuum pressure that is created in a suction channel (9) that has suction openings (11) that coincide with openings (10) in the conveyor belt itself so that a suction pressure is applied to the cards.
