CURVED CONVEYOR SECTION HAVING GUIDE RAILS WITH ADJUSTABLE SPACING

摘要

The invention concerns a curved section of a conveyor for transporting articles guided between two guide rails (7), comprising means for adjusting the spacing (e) between the two guide rails. At least one of the two guide rails is elastically deformable, and the adjusting means are designed to displace and deform said elastically deformable guide rail so as to provide it with a specific curvature which depends on its position. Preferably, the adjusting means comprise, for each guide rail (7), a deforming plate (9, 9') which is elastically deformable, and the guide rail (7) is rigidly fixed to said deforming plate.
