Abstract
Apparatus for transporting paper stacks has two spaced-apart transporting units each having a supplying conveyor which can accept stacks from a maker or feeder, an intermediate conveyor which can accept stacks from the supplying conveyor, and a receiving conveyor which can accept stacks from the intermediate conveyor for delivery to a packing machine. A third receiving conveyor is disposed between the receiving conveyors of the two transporting units and serves to deliver stacks to a third packing machine. The intermediate conveyors can be linked to each other for simultaneous movement transversely of the transporting units so that one of the intermediate conveyors registers with the third receiving conveyor while the other intermediate conveyor receives one or more stacks from the supplying conveyor of the corresponding transporting unit. This enables the third receiving conveyor to alternately deliver to the corresponding packing machine stacks which are furnished by the supplying conveyors of both transporting units. One of the intermediate conveyors can be driven to move transversely of the transporting units.
