Abstract

Eine Transporteinrichtung (100) für Bogenmaterial (7) umfasst eine Vielzahl von Taschen (10), wobei jede Tasche (10) eine Einstellvorrichtung zum Verstellen der Höhe der im ruhenden Zustand befindlichen Taschen (10) aufweist, um eine Einstellhöhe zu definieren. Eine Zuführeinrichtung (2, 3) legt das Bogenmaterial (7) in die Taschen (10), eine Freigabestation (4) dient zum Ausgeben des Bogenmaterials (7) aus den Taschen (10). Eine Rückstellstation (5) stellt automatisch die Taschen (10) auf die eingestellte Höhe zurück. Ebenfalls beschrieben sind ein Verfahren und eine Bogenmaterialtasche.

Figure 00000001
A transport device (100) for sheet material (7) comprises a plurality of pockets (10), each pocket (10) having an adjusting device for adjusting the height of the pockets (10) which are in the quiescent state in order to define an adjustment height. A feed device (2, 3) places the sheet material (7) in the pockets (10), and a release station (4) serves to discharge the sheet material (7) from the pockets (10). A resetting station (5) automatically resets the pockets (10) to the set height. A method and a sheet material bag are also described.
