Curved conveyor esp. for printed products in overlapping stream has rollers, with at least one driven, located on curved track with ends pointing towards common center

摘要

The conveyor has rollers (4,10,12,60,62) located next to each on a curved track, with their ends pointing to a common center. At least one of the rollers (10,12) is driven. The radius of the rollers is smaller on the inner end of the curve than on the outer end, and the enveloping longitudinal profile of the roller surface is concave. At least one of the rollers has two segments divided by a gap. There is no conveyor belt in the area of the rollers, and there are no compression rollers to fix the product flow from above.
