ABSTRACT:
A system for conveying stacks of objects has a pair of elongated arrays of idler rollers extending longitudinally parallel next to each other, defining a central longitudinally extending and upwardly open gap, defining a generally horizontal support plane extending longitudinally through a plurality of stations so that the stacks of objects can be supported on the rollers in the stations, and each formed by a plurality of rollers rotatable about parallel axes extending perpendicular to the gap. A flexible conveyor belt has a reach extending longitudinally along the gap between the arrays of rollers and a guide engaging the reach normally holds the reach below the plane. Respective actuators at the stations engage underneath the reach at the respective stations and raise the reach only at the respective stations through the gap and above the plane. A drive connected to the belt generally continuously advances the reach in a downstream longitudinal direction so that when the actuator of one of the stations lifts the belt at the one station any stack in the one station will be engaged by the belt and displaced downstream.
