DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING FLAT OBJECTS WITH AN INJECTOR COMPRISING ELASTICALLY DEFORMABLE WHEELS

摘要

The device for individually transferring flat objects from an entry conveyor (2) on which said objects travel in series edge-on in a first direction (A), into buckets (6) of an exit conveyor (5), comprises an intermediate conveyor (7) arranged in the continuation of the entry conveyor above the exit convey or and equipped with receptacles (9) which, over at least part of their path, c an move in a second direction (B) perpendicular to said first direction, each flat object leaving the entry conveyor being injected edge-on into a receptacle of the intermediate conveyor which comes up to face the exit of t he entry conveyor so as to be transferred edge-on into a bucket of the exit conveyor. It further comprises an injection system (14) comprising elastical ly deformable wheels (15) at the exit end of the entry conveyor and designed to accelerate and then retard the movement of each flat object in said first direction before injecting it into a receptacle of the intermediate conveyor .
