Abstract
A conveyor system for transferring yarn packages or other yarn packages from one conveyor belt to another downstream located conveyor belt traveling in the same conveying direction and at the same speed. The conveyor belts are guided on support structures which are embodied as lateral guide elements which are height-adjustable in a selected area. The lateral guide elements are connected by a linkage such that, when the inward guide elements are lowered, the outward guide elements are simultaneously raised, thereby to cause yarn packages to gravitationally roll from the first belt to the other belt.
