Abstract
A device is used for conveying printed board assemblies. Every segment of a conveyor line is provided, on both sides, with a conveyor cheek as the lateral border. Conveyor belts driven by wheels are mounted on the inner sides of the conveyor cheeks on vertically movable boards. On the upper edges of the conveyor cheeks, connector blocks are mounted on the inner side in the longitudinal direction. The connector blocks project beyond the movable boards in such a manner that, when the movable boards are lifted, the printed board is caught with its edge on both sides between the conveyor belt and the connector block.
