Item transporting and periodic retaining system - has braking shoe travelling in transport direction during braking period and driven towards transport belt

摘要

The system transports and periodically retains flat items delivered in a continuous stream and overlapping each other, being particularly for flat lengths of hose to be made into paper sacks. The items (21) are engaged by a braking device (14) travelling in the transport direction (22) during the braking period at least. Its movement can be even and slower than that of the incoming items, or it can be reduced in speed during this movement. A drive can be provided (15) to move the brake shoe (14) towards the belt (1) transporting the items during the braking period.
