Abstract

See full text

A conveyor with automatic-repositioning trippable pushers which is set along a sliding surface (12) for products (13) that are to be moved onwards comprises a continuous-drive element wound in a flattened loop (14) to which there may be constrained, at pre-chosen intervals, pusher assemblies (15), wherein each pusher assembly (15) consists of a carrying element (16) constrained to the continuous-drive element (14) by means of a pin (17) and of a pusher element proper (25, 125) that is trippable and comprises a base (26) and a shaped lever (27) that can oscillate (in 28) with respect to the base (26), there being provided elements of elastic engagement (34, 37, 38) between the carrying element (16) and the shaped lever (27) which keep the lever (27) in a position of thrust against a pre-determined force, yielding when a greater opposing force is exceeded, there further being provided, on the lever (27), elements of engagement (31) with the drive element (14) at points corresponding to end pulleys (23) which bring the shaped lever (27) that is oscillated and sent down back into an operating position, inserting again the elastic-engagement elements (34, 37, 38).
