Abstract
An apparatus for handling a plurality of driving belts 2 disposed close to each other and hanging from a horizontal supporting bar 4 carried by a handling support 3 in a loading station 10. The belts are laterally engaged, from opposite sides, between two first dragging elements 26 adapted to be simultaneous moved close to each other from opposite sides relative to the belts 2. The belts 2 are elastically deformed by the dragging elements and thereby take a configuration having two vertically aligned loops 38, 39 widening in a direction away from the dragging elements 26. The dragging elements 26 are trained around respective idler pulleys 27, 28, 31 operable for causing the displacement of the belts 2 and the selective transferring of the belts to second dragging elements 42 that will convey the belts to different work stations 5, 5aa according to a predetermined sequence.
