ABSTRACT:
A transport for conveying an article between two positions is provided which is capable of high speed article transfer while maintaining positive article control. The preferred embodiment is intended to operate with relatively thin and small labels finding applications as postal destination designators. The transport includes a plurality of aligned take-away devices which receive a set of articles from the output side of a high speed cutter. Each of the take-away devices includes at least one conveyor for advancing an individual article. The individual take-away devices also exerts positive control on each article during article advancement along the conveyor. The conveyor of each take-away devices is timed so that articles advancing along successive conveyors are automatically staggered with respect to other articles in each set. The speed of the conveyors of each take-away devices is set so that the transport acts as a constant speed device, regardless of the input speed of articles into the transport. A main conveyor receives the articles from the take-away devices and advances them in a direction generally normal to the direction of advancement of the take-away devices. Positive control is maintained on the articles as they travel along the main conveyor. The articles are deposited at a stacking and bundling station adjacent the main conveyor termination point.
