A conveying system for conveying items along a conveying line ( ) includes a guide device ( ) extending along the conveying line and at least one conveying element ( ) movable along the conveying line and guided by the guide device ( ). The guide device ( ) and conveying element ( ) are designed for conveying the items substantially independent of gravity. For selectable connection of the conveying line to a plurality of connecting points (A. A. ) the conveying system includes, connected to a invariable conveying line region ( ) with a fixedly mounted guide device, a variable conveying line region ( ) in which the guide device ( ) is reversibly bendable and twistable. For bending and/or twisting the guide device and for supporting the guide device in a bent and/or twisted position necessary for a specific connection, a drivable connector ( ) is provided. The variable conveying line region ( ) may be an end region of the conveying line.

Conveyor system

The invention relates to a conveyor device ( ) comprising a plurality of individually movable transport means ( ) which can be driven adjacent to one another by the front sides ( ) thereof, and which are guided by means of a guiding rail ( ). The inventive device also has a driving means ( ) which actuates the transport means ( ) in a curved section ( ) of the guiding rail ( ), whereby the driving means ( ) and the transport means ( ), said transport means being successively conveyed in a contactless manner, positively interact with one another in order to convey transport means ( ) in a curved section ( ).

Conveyor device and corresponding transport means

A conveyor device comprising a guiding rail for guiding at least one transport mechanism. A ferromagnetic guide, including a magnet, is fixed to the guiding rail. An article carrying part is detachably connected to the transport mechanism through a magnetic circuit that flows through two spaced apart ferromagnetic guide parts carried by the transport mechanism. The ferromagnetic guide and the ferromagnetic guide parts are located relative to each other such that there is an air gap there between through which the magnetic circuit flows to create an attractive force, Fm, holding the article carrying part on the transport mechanism.

Conveyor device

The invention relates to conveying means ( ) which can be rail-guided and are provided for conveying especially flat products in a conveying direction (F). Said conveying means comprises a guiding part ( ) which runs in a v-shaped manner in a conveying direction and constructs a three point support. In addition the conveying means comprises a supporting part ( ) which is provided for holding the product and arranged in fixed manner on the guiding part ( ). The conveying means also have a coupling part ( ) which is arranged on a driving means ( ) such that it can be coupled.

Conveying means which can be rail-guided and a guiding rail for guiding said conveying means

The invention relates to a conveyor system comprising a guiding rail ( ) and a plurality of retaining devices ( ) for a conveyed item, especially printing products. Said retaining devices each have a guiding pan ( ) which can individually move in the guiding rail ( ). A second guiding rail ( ) is provided with a driving means ( ) which is guided thereon. The driving means ( ) permits a detachable coupling to a coupling part of the guiding part ( ) such that, in a coupled state, a load carrying connection exists between the driving means ( ) and the coupling part.

Conveyor means

The conveying apparatus has a transport belt (,) which is intended to feed flexible, flat articles (,) arising in imbricated formation (S), resting freely, to a conveyor (,). The transport belt (,) is led around a deflection drum (,) and, together with the latter, forms a deflection and conveying gap (,) for the imbricated formation (S). On one side, an edge section (,) of said imbricated formation projects beyond the deflection drum (,). The circulation path (,) of the conveyor (,) runs alongside the drum. Said conveyor is equipped with grippers (,) which are intended to grip the deflected imbricated formation (S) in the edge section and to transport it further.
