The invention relates to a pneumatic conveyor essentially comprising upstream (1) and downstream (2) tubular transport channels which are interconnected by means of a switch device (3) and a support infrastructure (4). The inventive conveyor is characterised in that the switch device (3) takes the form of a transport and guiding means which is flexible in relation to the longitudinal axis thereof and which consists of a flexible blade. Said flexible blade supports a means (10) for propelling products or bottles (6) to be transported or conveyed, which essentially consists of individual rigid parallelepiped elements (18). One end (3') of the flexible transport and guiding means is fixed to the support infrastructure (4) or to an upstream (1) or downstream (2) transport case, such that the guide part thereof corresponds to that of a downstream (2) or upstream (1) transport case, while the other end (3 ) of said flexible transport and guiding means is guided with possible angular displacement on the support infrastructure (4) or on an upstream (1) or downstream (2) transport case and is connected to a reciprocating displacement means (5). The invention is particularly suitable for use in the field involving the transport of loads using overhead pneumatic conveyors.

La présente invention a pour objet un convoyeur ou transporteur à air, essentiellement constitué par des canaux tubulaires de transport amont (1) et aval (2) reliés entre eux par un dispositif d'aiguillage (3) et par une infrastructure de support (4). Convoyeur ou transporteur à air caractérisé en ce que le dispositif d'aiguillage (3) est réalisé sous forme d'un moyen de transport et de guidage flexible par rapport à son axe longitudinal, constitué par une lame en matériau flexible, supportant un moyen (10) de propulsion des produits ou bouteilles (6) à transporter ou à convoyer essentiellement constitué par des éléments individuels parallélépipédiques rigides (18), et fixé à une extrémité (3') sur l'infrastructure de support (4) ou sur un caisson de transport amont (1) ou aval (2), avec correspondance de sa partie de guidage avec celle d'un caisson de transport aval (2) ou amont (1), l'autre extrémité (3") de ce moyen de transport et de guidage flexible étant guidée avec possibilité de débattement angulaire sur l'infrastructure de support (4) ou sur un caisson de transport amont (1) ou aval (2) et étant reliée à un moyen de déplacement en va-et-vient (5). L'invention est plus particulièrement applicable dans le domaine du convoyage de charges au moyen de convoyeurs ou transporteurs aériens à air.
