ABSTRACT:
An accumulator for logs of wound paper conveys logs between an input end of the accumulator and a discharge end and accommodates speed differences in the log processing equipment at the input and discharge ends. The accumulator includes stationary upper and lower sets of sprockets and movable pairs of sprockets which can move up and down between the upper and lower sets. A continuous conveyor chain extends downwardly from the upper set of sprockets to the lower set at the input end, is festooned between the lower set of sprockets and one of the sprockets of each of the movable pairs, extends upwardly to the upper set of sprockets, and is festooned between the upper set of sprockets and the other sprocket of each of the movable pairs. A plurality of log carriers are mounted on the chain for movement therewith, and logs are fed onto the carriers at the input end as the carriers are moving downwardly between the upper set of sprockets and the lower set. The logs are removed from the carriers at the discharge end as the carriers are moving substantially horizontally between a pair of horizontally spaced sprockets of the lower set.
