Abstract
The invention relates to a transfer system (1) for items conveyed (3) piece by piece between a first conveyor unit (4; 11) and at least one other conveyor unit (5, 6) extending transversely or at an angle thereto. The conveyed items (3) are fed on a substantially horizontal conveyor plane (21 ) of a corresponding conveyor system (2). The transfer system (1) has a brake mechanism (35) which can be raised above and lowered below the conveyor plane (21) so that it can be selectively placed in and out of friction contact with the bottom face (36) of the conveyed item (3). It also has a lifting and conveying mechanism (25), the conveyor elements (27, 28) of which can be raised and lowered below the conveyor plane (21) so that the conveyed item (3) can be picked up from the first conveyor unit (4; 11) and transferred onto one of the other conveyor units (5, 6) without jamming. A first positioning mechanism (44) for the raisable and lowerable brake mechanism (35) and a second positioning mechanism (45) for raising and lowering the lifting and conveying mechanism (25) are mechanically coupled in displacement and are linked to one another by a common first drive system (46) only.
