A conveyor having a flighted belt and providing a gapless end-off or end-on transfer of articles (82). The conveyor belt includes segmented flights (66, 66~) at spaced intervals along its length. Each segmented flight (66, 66~) includes slots dividing the flight (66, 66~) into laterally spaced segments, or dogs. A transfer platform (48~) allows for a smooth transfer of articles (82) onto or off the end of the belt. Fingers on the transfer platform (48~) separated by gaps extend to distal finger tips that are positioned close to the conveying surface of the belt at an end of the conveyor. The transfer platform (48~) is laterally aligned with the gaps positioned to coincide with the flight segments to permit them to pass cleanly through as the belt articulates about a sprocket (14, 115) set at the end of a carryway. Optional article-advancing rollers (80) in the conveyor belt between consecutive flights (66) propel articles (82) forward along the belt to a forward flight.
L'invention porte sur un convoyeur à bande à raclettes assurant des transferts sans discontinuités des articles entrants ou sortants. La bande du convoyeur comporte des raclettes segmentées espacées le long de la longueur dont chacune comporte des fentes la divisant en segments espacés latéralement. Une plate-forme de transfert permet un transfert en douceur d'articles entrants ou sortants. Des doigts de la plate-forme de transfert séparés par des intervalles s'étendent en direction des extrémités distales des doigts placés au voisinage de la surface de convoyage de la bande à l'une des extrémités du convoyeur. La plate-forme de transfert est alignée latéralement sur les intervalles situés de manière à coïncider avec les segments de raclettes pour leur permettre de les traverser nettement alors que la bande tourne autour du tambour d'entraînement situé à l'extrémité du plan porteur. On peut prévoir des rouleaux facultatifs d'avancement des articles placés dans la bande entre les raclettes se suivant et qui propulsent les articles vers l'avant le long de la bande et vers la raclette d'aval.
