APPARATUS TO TRANSPORT LENGTHENED MATERIAL Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: lengthened material transportation. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has body with side members 1, at least two roller conveyers equidistantly located in it and driving shaft 4. Transporting rollers 5 of roller conveyers are driven rollers. Identical geared wheels 6 - 8 are fixed on their shafts ( one on each shaft ), grouped layer by layer in " n " parallel planes with " n" = 1, 2, 3 ... " n " identical geared wheels 9 - 11 are fixed on driving shaft 4, placed by one in " n " planes. Geared wheels 6 - 8 in each layer are mounted with capability to be engaged with only with autonomous continuous flexible members 12 - 14. Inner branch of members 12 -14 is placed between wheels 6 - 8 of different roller conveyers and is engaged with them. Torque of driving shaft 4 is transferred to its wheels 9 - 11, that make members 12 - 14 to move and members 12 -14 make geared wheels 6 - 8 to move and transfer rotation to rollers 5. EFFECT: apparatus is used for lengthened material transportation. 4 cl, 12 dwg
