Abstract
Abstract Equipment for transferring pieces of dough brought up on cooking, baking or the like underlays, to a doughpieces carrier by means of a circulating transferring conveyor belt, which projects at both sides in the form of belt tongues and which is disposed in a stationary frame, characterized in that the transferring conveyor belt is disposed on a slide which is able to move to or fro in the direction or counter to the direction of circulation of the conveyor belt, and characterized in that the direction in which the conveyor belt, and characterized in that the direction in which the conveyor belt circulates and direction in which the slide moves are reversible in such a way that the same mechanism can be used both for loading and also for unloading baked goods carriers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
Equipment for transferring pieces of dough conveyed to a doughpieces carrier by means of a circulating transferring conveyor belt of a configuration to define a pair of belt tongue ends comprising a main frame, said transferring conveyor belt disposed in said frame, a slide member mounting said transfer conveyor and adapted for reciprocating back and forth movement relative to said main frame, the direction of circulation of the conveyor belt and the direction of movement of said slide being reversible in such a way that the same mechanism can be used for loading and unloading baked goods carriers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
Equipment for transferring pieces of dough conveyed to a doughpieces carrier by means of a circulating transferring conveyor belt of a configuration to define a pair of belt tongue ends comprising a main frame, said transferring conveyor belt disposed in said frame, a slide member mounting said transfer conveyor and adapted for reciprocating back and forth movement relative to said main frame, the direction of circulation of the conveyor belt and the direction of movement of said slide being reversible in such a way that the same mechanism can be used for loading and unloading baked goods carriers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 1 characterized in that both in the picking up and also in the laying down of doughpieces the upper length of the transferring conveyor belt moves contrary to the direction of the pushing forward of the slide, whereby the belt tongue currently operative in taking over the doughpieces moves over the doughpieces carrier from front to rear, and during the depositing of the doughpieces moves from the rear to the front, relatively to the belt tongue end.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
48 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that below the depositing tongue of the transferring conveyor belt are disposed a chute, which can preferably be folded down, as well as a conveyor belt or an equivalent conveying means, which moves transversely of the transferring conveyor belt direction.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
46 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that for the purpose of bringing up the doughpieces carrier that is to be unloaded there is provided a preferably motor driven rollers track, a conveyor belt or the like, which runs transversely of the transferring conveyor belt.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 8, characterized in that there is disposed in the path of the rollers track a stop which limits the advance of the doughpieces carrier and is controllable.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 9, characterized in that the chute can be swung into the plane of the guidesheets or rails.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
79 words
Equipment in accordance with 1, characterized in that for the purpose of transferring the carriers charged with doughpieces, preferably baking sheets, there can be fastened in front of the front end of the transferring conveyor belt a rigid stop-rail which extends transversely of the said belt, and characterized in that the slide with the conveyor belt can be pulled back to beyond the transfer place, and in that between the receiving and delivering places are disposed guidesheets or guiderails.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
79 words
Equipment in accordance with 1, characterized in that for the purpose of transferring the carriers charged with doughpieces, preferably baking sheets, there can be fastened in front of the front end of the transferring conveyor belt a rigid stop-rail which extends transversely of the said belt, and characterized in that the slide with the conveyor belt can be pulled back to beyond the transfer place, and in that between the receiving and delivering places are disposed guidesheets or guiderails.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
28 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the slide and the transferring conveyor belt are each equipped with their own controllable and reversible drivers, preferably electromotors.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
44 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 12, characterized in that the drive motor of the transferring conveyor belt is disposed on the slide, and through the intermediary of a drive connection, preferably a chain drive, it drives a roller wrapped round by the conveyor belt.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
39 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 12 characterized in that the drive motor for the slide is disposed in the frame, and is connected with the slide, guided in rails, through the intermediary of a chain drive or the like.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
47 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 12, characterized in that the motor serving to drive the slide drivers, through the intermediary of a slip-free drive-connection, preferably a chain drive, a cam-disk, whose switching-lobes operate switches, or similar switching means, disposed in the electrical circuit of the drive motors.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
42 words
Equipment in accordance with claim 1, characterized by a controlling contrivance, which acts on the drive means for the slide and of the conveyor belt respectively, and which can be automatically triggered by a following doughpieces carrier, particularly the baked goods carrier.
