Abstract
The invention relates to a delivery device for the sections of a strip of film that are fed in a direction of conveyance, especially in a bead welding machine, comprising a rotor ( ) that is driven and rotated around an axis ( ) lying parallel thereto on the plane of conveyance with several contact areas that extend radially towards the axis of rotation ( ) and which grasp successively fed strip sections in an operational mode, deflect said strip sections from the plane of conveyance and deliver them to a delivery station, whereby each respective contact area ( ) of the rotor comprises suction areas ( ) that can be subjected to an underpressure to hold said strip sections on the contact areas ( ) when the contact areas ( ) of the rotor move through the segment of a circle ( ) between a first and a second position of rotation ( or ). In order to achieve trouble-free delivery of said strip sections, the angle of the circle segment ( ) can be adjusted within limits.
