DEVICE FOR TRANSFER OF RAIL TRANSPORT BODIES FROM ONE RAIL LINE TO THE OTHER Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: transportation of printed matter. SUBSTANCE: transfer devices 26, 26' for delivery of transport bodies 12 passing along first rail line 14 to second rail line 16 or third rail line 18 arranged at angle α relative to first rail line 14 are located radially inside relative to curvature of transfer zone between first rail line 14 and second rail line 16 or third rail line 18. They have transporting disk 26 set into uninterrupted rotation and connecting device 56 made in form of plate wheel 42. Plates 42' of plate wheel 42 are made for controllable change-over into clamping position for clamping transport body 12 between plates and transporting disk 28 to move the body over transfer zone. Proposed device makes it possible to provided transfer of transport bodies delivered along first rail line to second rail line even in case when they follow each at very little interval or thrust against each other. EFFECT: provision of high efficiency of operation. 17 cl, 15 dwg
