Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004517708
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention relates to a conveyor device for transporting and expelling material to be conveyed, especially flat postal items. The inventive device comprises vertically pivotable conveying modules that are arranged one behind the other. The aim of the invention is to reduce the closing time required by the pivoted conveyor module component to go back to the level of the succeeding conveyor module component. The component of the conveyor modules is designed in such a way that said component can also be driven in the vertical direction, whereby said component is the front component when seen in the conveying direction. Immediately after a material to be conveyed (3) has been expelled and when the next material to be conveyed (3) is transported further, said front component of the conveyor module (1) that succeeds the expelling conveyor module (1) is pivoted against the component that is pivoted for expelling. Said front component is pivoted back upwards when the transport level of said component is situated underneath or at least at the same height in relation to the transport level of the previous, expelling conveyor module (1).
