Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013189578A1] The invention relates to a pocket conveyor for conveying objects, in particular cigarette groups (11), having at least one linear partial conveying section and at least one curved, preferably partially circular, partial conveying section, and which is provided with pockets (13) for accommodating the objects, said pockets being arranged along and fastened to a belt-like, continuous traction means (12. At least one pocket (13) is pivotally mounted to the traction means (12) around two parallel rotational axes (23, 24) arranged spaced apart and successively in a conveying direction. The invention is characterized in that the two rotational axes (23, 24) extend at a defined distance (X) from the neutral fiber (25) of the traction means (12), which is calculated such that the distance (T) between the rotational axes (23, 24), which ensues when the entire pocket (13) is located in an area of the curved partial conveying section, essentially, preferably exactly, corresponds to the nominal distance (T) between the rotational axes (23, 24), namely the distance that ensues when the entire pocket (13) is in the area of the linear conveying section, essentially without forces impacting the pocket (13) which could move the rotational axes (23, 24) towards each other, while the entire pocket (13) is in the curved area.
