A conveying device for conveying workpieces, for example in a production line, the conveying device including at least one driving line divided into several sections, and each section being able to convey workpieces independently from other sections. At least one central drive is provided which drives the section for a conveying of the workpieces via a coupling.

There are disclosed a conveying apparatus and a conveying system in which a force is efficiently transmitted to an article so as to smoothly convey the article in an arbitrary direction. In each of feed portions 15 provided at a conveying apparatus 10, 11 of the invention, a twist gear 34 is mounted on a twist base 16, and is disposed below feed rollers 17, and therefore the degree of freedom of the configurations of the twist gear 34 and feed rollers 17 are higher as compared with a conventiona...

A conveying device for conveying articles, in particular vehicle bodies, in a known manner comprises at least one skid, which comprises two parallel skid runners and a supporting structure, which connects the skid runners to one another, for the article to be conveyed. The skid runners are supported on two parallel tracks, which extend along a conveying path. As a driving device a linear drive is used, which comprises a plurality of energizable primary parts disposed in a stationary manner along...

An apparatus for transporting articles includes a first transporter (e.g. a conveyor) for transporting articles in a line and a member that separates the articles in the line into groups and also removes the groups from the line while the articles continue to be transported.

A conveying mechanism capable of preferably inhibiting the portion of a transfer belt located in an image forming area from meandering. A plurality of ribs (84) are provided so as to extend approximately parallel to a transfer direction (X) on an upper surface (8a) of a guide member (8). The intervals between the ribs (84) are constituted to be gradually narrowed in the left direction (Y). A transfer belt (3) is gradually moved in the left direction (Y) by the abutment between an inner side face...

The present invention provides a conveying mechanism capable of accurately detecting a conveyance amount of an object to be conveyed with a simple configuration. A magnetic sensor is fixed to a casing along a locus of a contact point between a sheet and a conveying roller on the basis of a play between the conveying roller and an opening. With the configuration, the contact point and the magnetic sensor are disposed relatively close to each other. Consequently, the pure conveyance amount accordi...

The subject of the invention is a conveying unit (2) with a baffle (5), with a fuel pump (6) arranged therein and with a filter (14) which is arranged at the bottom (7) of the baffle (5) and which precedes an inlet orifice (8) arranged at the bottom (7) of the baffle (5). On that side of the baffle (5) which faces the tank bottom (9), ducts (11) are arranged, which are designed in such a way that fuel can flow from the circumference of the baffle (5) to the inlet orifice (8), and that shaped ele...

An apparatus for conveying articles includes a transmission element, a plurality of element guides around which the transmission element extends, a drive motor for moving the transmission element, a plurality of article carriages operatively connected to the transmission element for movement therewith, and a guide track for maintaining the article carriages in a selected orientation as they move along the conveying path.

A conveying device (10) for transporting transported goods includes at least one profile rail (12), at least one transported goods support (14) that is supported by the at least one profile rail and is moveable along the profile rail, and a drivable conveyor unit (16) extending along at least one profile rail (12), whereby the at least one transported goods support (14) has at least one engagement unit (20), which is in locked-in engagement with the conveyor unit (16) or can be brought into lock...

A conveying device has: a moving member provided so as to be movable; a rotating member rotatably supported at the moving member; and a holding member rotatably supported at the rotating member, and able to hold a sheet. In a state in which the holding member is holding the sheet, the holding member conveys the sheet by at least one of movement of the moving member, rotation of the rotating member with respect to the moving member, and rotation of the holding member with respect to the rotating ...
