Das zweite Teil 8 des ersten Paares ist ein Klemmbalken, der beispielsweise mittels eines Pneumatikzylinders aus einer von der Warenbahn oder dem Warenstück 1, 1' vertikal beabstandeten Ruheposition, die in Figur 1 und 2 gezeigt ist, in eine an das untere Trum des Riementriebes angedrückte Transportposition verstellbar ist, die in Figur 3 und 4 gezeigt ist, wobei zwischen den Teilen 7 und 8 der rechte Rand des Warenstückes 1 eingeklemmt ist.The first part 7 of the first pair of clamping and transport parts consists of a machine frame arranged on the belt drive, which is located slightly above the web 1 'or the piece of goods 1, so that during movement by means of the first transport device 3 no contact between the web and consists of the belt drive. The second part 8 of the first pair is a clamping bar which, for example, by means of a pneumatic cylinder from one of the web or the item 1, 1 'vertically spaced rest position shown in Figures 1 and 2, in a pressed against the lower run of the belt drive Transport position is adjustable, which is shown in Figure 3 and 4, wherein between the parts 7 and 8, the right edge of the piece of goods 1 is clamped.

Der vertikale Abstand des ersten und zweiten Teiles 7,8 des ersten Paares von Klemm- und Transportteilen voneinander ist in der Ruheposition gemäß Figur 1 und 2 so groß, dass die Transportvorrichtung 3, insbesondere deren Klemmzange (4), durchgreifen kann, ohne von den Teilen 7,8 oder auch den Teilen 10,11 behindert zu werden, wie dies insbesondere in Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist.The vertical distance of the first and second parts 7,8 of the first pair of clamping and transport parts from each other is so large in the rest position according to Figures 1 and 2, that the transport device 3, in particular their clamping tongs (4), can pass through, without departing from Parts 7, 8 or also the parts 10, 11 to be obstructed, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Das dritte Teil 10 des zweiten Paares der Klemm- und Transportteile ist ein ebenfalls am Maschinengestell angeordneter zweiter Riementrieb, der vorzugsweise synchron mit dem ersten Riementrieb betrieben wird. Auch dieser ist gering oberhalb der Warenbahn 1' oder des Warenstückes 1 angeordnet. Das vierte Teil 11 ist wiederum ein Klemmbalken, der aus einer Ruheposition gemäß Figur 1 und 2 vertikal und horizontal in eine an das untere Trum des Riementriebes angedrückte Transportposition verstellbar ist, wie in Figur 3 und 4 gezeigt. Die Bewegung des Teiles 11 wird dabei so ausgeführt, dass dieses Teil an der gebildeten Schlaufe des Warenstückes 1 berührungsfrei vorbeigeführt ist und die Schlaufe bei der Aufwärtsbewegung des Teiles 11 nicht verzogen oder berührt wird. Aus diesem Grunde ist eine rein vertikale Bewegung des Teiles 11 unerwünscht, da bei einer reinen vertikalen Bewegung die Schlaufe des Warenstückes 1 verformt und verzerrt würde.The third part 10 of the second pair of clamping and transport parts is also arranged on the machine frame second Belt drive, which is preferably operated synchronously with the first belt drive. This is also slightly above the web 1 'or the piece of goods 1 arranged. The fourth part 11 is in turn a clamping bar which can be adjusted vertically and horizontally from a resting position according to FIGS. 1 and 2 into a transport position pressed against the lower run of the belt drive, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The movement of the part 11 is carried out so that this part is guided past the formed loop of the piece of goods 1 without contact and the loop is not warped or touched during the upward movement of the part 11. For this reason, a purely vertical movement of the part 11 is undesirable because in a pure vertical movement, the loop of the piece of goods 1 would be deformed and distorted.

Um die Bewegung des vierten Teiles 11 des zweiten Paares exakt steuern zu können, könnte die Anordnung von Pneumatikzylindern vorgesehen sein, die eine Bewegung in Richtung des Bewegungspfeiles 12 ausüben. Vorzugsweise ist aber eine gestellfeste Führung 13 vorgesehen, die in der Zeichnung nur angedeutet ist. Diese gestellfeste Führung 13 besteht aus schrägstehenden, entsprechend der Bewegungsrichtung 12 ausgerichteten Führungskufen- oder Führungsstangen-paaren oder auch aus parallele Kurvenbahnen bildenden Kufen- oder Zahnstangenpaaren, die seitlich neben dem Warenstück 1, insbesondere neben der Fallfläche der Schlaufe der Warenbahn oder des Warenstückes 1, angeordnet sind. Das vierte Teil 11 kann beispielsweise mittels Gleitführungen oder mittels Zahnrädern an den Führungskufen beziehungsweise Zahnstangen geführt sein. Anstelle der in der Zeichnung dargestellten geradlinigen Bewegung in Richtung des Bewegungspfeiles 12 ist auch eine kurvenartige Bewegung von der unteren Position des Teiles 11, wie es in Figur 1 und 2 gezeigt ist, in die obere Position gemäß Figur 3 und Figur 4 möglich. Durch diese Ausbildung wird es möglich, in sehr kurzer Zeit, auf kurzem Weg und mit wenigen Arbeitstakten die gewünschten Bewegungsabläufe zu realisieren und die Vereinzelung und den Transport des Warenstückes 1 in zwei zueinander kreuzenden Bewegungsrichtungen zu realisieren.In order to be able to control the movement of the fourth part 11 of the second pair exactly, the arrangement of pneumatic cylinders could be provided, which exert a movement in the direction of the movement arrow 12. Preferably, however, a frame-fixed guide 13 is provided, which is only indicated in the drawing. This frame-fixed guide 13 consists of inclined, aligned according to the direction of movement 12 Führungsungskufen- or guide rod pairs or even parallel curved tracks forming runners- or pairs of racks, which are arranged laterally next to the item of goods 1, in particular next to the falling surface of the loop of the web or the piece of goods 1. The fourth part 11 may be guided, for example, by means of sliding guides or by means of gears on the guide runners or toothed racks. Instead of the rectilinear movement in the direction of the movement arrow 12 shown in the drawing, a curve-like movement from the lower position of the part 11, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, into the upper position according to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is also possible. With this design, it is possible to realize the desired motion sequences in a very short time, on a short way and with a few work cycles and to realize the separation and transport of the item 1 in two mutually crossing directions of movement.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt, sondern im Rahmen der Offenbarung vielfach variabel.The invention is not limited to the embodiment, but in the context of the disclosure often variable.
