Transfer installation for packages - moves packages from supply shaft to compartments of moving conveyor with drivers and back stops

摘要

The packages or stacks of packages are transferred from a supply shaft containing the packages or stacks of packages stacked one above the other into receiving compartments of a continuously moving conveyor. The conveyor esp. moves the products of a machine making cartons. The drivers on the conveyor are set at a distance from each other, which in the direction of conveyor movement is greater than the greatest possible package measurement and form stops on their front side which determine the position of the package or stack of packages. In front of the drivers there are back stops adjustable relative to the drivers and controllable dependant on the conveyor path between a position inclined forwards relative to the direction of conveyor movement and a mainly vertically standing position. The back stops are in the forwards inclined position while running below the supply shaft.
