Abstract
In a process for the transportation and accumulation of pallets, guide or retaining rollers are arranged on a traction element on an axle. Elastic guiding of the support and retaining rollers in relation to the traction element is accomplished and elastic centering in relation to the traction element results in a straight line operation with conveyors used for the transportation of pallets and large area objects. Reduced maintenance and wear, reduction of noise level of the conveying equipment, prevention of acceleration and braking jolts to the goods to be conveyed and assured parallel guiding of conveyor belts are advantageous of the present invention. Clear centering of the support rollers and of the retaining rollers in relation to the conveyor is also obtained with a device for the transportation and accumulation of pallets as a result of a lagging of the retaining rollers and support rollers behind the axle mount therefor.
