Abstract

1429453 Roller conveyers RAPISTAN Inc 27 June 1974 [27 June 1973] 28662/74 Heading B8A The movement of a drive belt 50a into and out of engagement with rollers 106 of an accumulation conveyer is controlled by roller assemblies 10 each consisting of an inner eccentric roller 12 concentric with a pair of outer eccentric rollers 14, 16. The roller has two portions 12a, 12b having a pin 36 whose ends extend into arcuate slots 42 in the rollers 14, 16. The annular groove 54 between the roller portions 12a, 12b receives a central section 52 of the belt 50a and an interceptor 114 of a horizontal slide 112 also extends into the groove 54. The rollers 12, 14, 16 are all counterweighted and are rotatable on a rigidly supported axle 18. Fig. 8 shows how each zone I, II, III has its slide member 112 connected to a sensing arm 116 which is normally pivoted upwardly by a spring 124. In operation, articles are conveyed in direction B, the belt 50a in zone I being raised into engagement with the rollers 106 by the rollers 12 which, as shown in Fig. 4, are out of phase with rollers 14, 16. Depression of the sensor arm 116 by an article D causes slide 112a in zone II to move to the right and the interceptors 114 to engage the pins 36 thus rotating the rollers 12 to the in-phase positions shown in Fig. 1. The belt 50a is thus lowered clear of the rollers 106 in zone II and an article in this zone will be stationary. In a modification, Fig. 12, a belt-50b is raised and lowered into direct engagement with an article E. Undriven rollers 106a, 106b support the articles.
