<p>An apparatus for conveying flat goods having one face covered with a liquid layer comprises two roller trains for, respectively, delivering the goods to and removing the goods from, a generally vertically orbiting chain having a first group of fork-shaped carriers attached thereto, and at least one generally horizontally conveyed, parallelogram-guided, fork-shaped carrier. The rollers of the roller trains are supported each only at one of its roller ends. The carriers of the first group have prongs which pass through gaps between adjacent rollers of the roller trains. Likewise, the prongs of one of the two carrier systems (the first group and the horizontally conveyed carrier or carriers) pass through gaps between adjacent prongs of the other system. The two carrier systems are driven from a common motor (variable drive). The arrangement and kinematics is such that the horizontally conveyed fork overtakes each fork of the first group shortly before and after the latter carrier passes through an upper direction-reversing, preferably arcuate stretch. The goods, e.g. plates to be conveyed are transported into the range of the carriers of the first group passing upward and lifted off the rollers by the next-ascending fork thereof. Just prior to reaching the upper direction-reversing stretch, the preponderantly horizontally conveyed fork overtakes the ascending fork and lifts the plate off the latter fork and carries it transversely to the descending stretch, where this preponderantly horizontally conveyed fork overtakes in downward direction a descending fork and deposits the plate it has carried, on the overtaken carrier of the first group. The latter carrier then deposits the plate on the other roller train which removes it from the apparatus.</p> |
