DEVICE FOR CONVEYING FLAT OBJECTS BETWEEN PROCESSING EQUIPMENT ITEMS

摘要

Device for conveying flat objects (1), held vertically, at high speed betwee n processing equipment items, and in particular for conveying mail envelopes. This device comprises: a stationary baseplate (3) extending from one equipme nt item to the other; a motorized reference belt (4) stretched over a set of vertical pulleys (7) and extending above the baseplate along the conveying path between equipment items; a motorized press belt (5) mounted in such a w ay that it can be pressed against the reference belt along the conveying path; a series of deformable wheels (6) along the conveying path between equipment items, which can come to bear against the press belt in the zone where the latter presses against the reference belt, so as to grip the conveyed envelopes appropriately in spite of the differences in thickness between envelopes.
