Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method of transporting an elongate, flexible object, such as a belt, chain, wire or web, wherein the speed of a part of the elongate object Is periodically varied, while maintaining a constant speed of the upstream and downstream parts of the object. The method comprises feeding the elongate object (1) past transport members such as rotating transport rollers (13,15) which are oscillated parallel to the elongate object In the direction of transport and opposite to the direction of transport. Three sections (7a,7b,7c) of the elongate object are during oscillation of the transport members maintained In a mutually parallel relationship. Translation- and rotation balancing means allow the transport members to be driven at high speeds and low variations in torque. <IMAGE>
