A conveyor for orienting and registering articles in a preferred orientation and position for accurate downstream processing. The conveyor includes a conveyor belt running in a conveyance direction next to an orientation belt running parallel in an opposite direction or more slowly in the same direction. The orientation belt has upstanding structure, such as flights, or a high-friction surface. The conveyor belt includes article-supporting rollers on a top side. The rollers are arranged to rotate about axes oblique to the conveyance direction. The rollers also extend below the bottom side of the belt and are rotated by dynamic contact with bearing surfaces supporting the belt as it advances in the conveying direction. The rotating rollers direct conveyed articles toward a side rail. If a portion of a conveyed article extends past the side edge of the conveyor belt into the path of the orientation belt, the obstructions or high-friction surface of the slower- or oppositely-moving orientation belt strikes the conveyed articles and cause them to rotate clockwise toward an alignment of the article in the conveyance direction and into registration against the side rail at the downstream end of the conveyor. In other versions of the article-orienting conveyor, the orientation belt is replaced by a row of posts or a rotating paddle wheel that strikes conveyed articles extending past the side edge of the conveyor belt.

The present invention relates to a novel compound that can significantly improve the lifespan, efficiency and thermal stability of an organic light emitting device, and to an organic electroluminescence device or light emitting device comprising the compound in an organic compound layer is also disclosed.

A conveyor transfer system and a transfer platform for transferring articles from an upstream conveyor to a downstream conveyor across a gap. The transfer platform fits in the gap between two conveyors arranged end to end. At least one of the conveyors includes a conveyor belt that reverses direction around a reversing element at the gap. The transfer platform floats in the gap supported by the conveyor belt or its reversing element without a direct connection to the conveyor frame.

A belt transporting device for circulatingly transporting an endless belt, which is in use with an image forming apparatus, such as copying machine or a printer. The belt transporting device includes a plurality of tension rolls, an endless belt laid on the tension rolls, the endless belt having a belt-end edge part protruding from an end of one of the tension roll and a guide member provided in the vicinity of the endless belt. The guide member comes in contact with the belt-end edge part so as to bend the belt-end edge part in a tapering-off direction. The guide member regulates the shape of the belt-end edge part so that a rotary peripheral length of the belt-end edge part becomes smaller than that of an area where a rear side of the endless belt is in contact with the tension roll.

The invention relates to a belt band conveyor such as a curved belt conveyor having an endless transport belt that is guided over deflection rollers. There is a guide element that projects beyond the belt plane wherein this guide element can be handled separately before it is attached to the transport belt. This guide element moves along as the transport belt moves, and on whose guide surfaces, which extend in the transport direction of the transport belt has running surfaces that are inclined relative to the belt plane roll off from rotating guide rollers as the transport belt moves. Thus, lateral forces that occur crosswise to the transport direction of the transport belt can be compensated. A plurality of separate guide shoes are attached to the transport belt, forming a guide strip for the guide rollers that extends in the transport direction, circulates, and is divided into multiple parts.

A belt conveyor includes: an endless belt that is looped over a plurality of rollers, the plurality of rollers including a drive roller and a meandering correction roller; a drive unit that rotates the drive roller to drive the endless belt; a meandering correction unit that adjusts an inclination of the meandering correction roller to correct meandering of the endless belt in a width direction thereof; a plurality of position detection units that detect positions of the endless belt in the width direction thereof and output detection signals; and a meandering correction control unit that selectively uses the detection signals from the plurality of detection units to control the meandering correction unit.

A self cleaning conveyor roller for supporting a conveyor media carrying contaminant materials. The conveyor roller consists of a drum defining a support surface, having a generally cylindrical shape, and being adapted to be supported for rotation, for supporting a conveyor media. The conveyor roller has a plurality of abutments on the support surface, raised above the support surface, and defining a series of spaced apart conveyor media support ridges lying on a circular configuration, concentric with the drum. The abutments are arranged in generally chevron shapes, around the drum. During rotation of the conveyor roller the abutments cause any debris or contaminants between the roller and the conveyor media to be guided out of the conveyor system. Also disclosed is a method of cleaning a conveyor roller.

Methods and devices for measuring elongation, wear, and internal temperature of a conveyor belt to catch signs of conveyor belt failure such as breakage by detecting a magnetic field from a magnetic body by using a magnesium sensor, as well as a rubber magnet sheet as a magnetic body and a method of producing the sheet, the rubber magnet sheet being able to be used while it is embedded in the conveyor belt. To measure elongation of a running conveyor belt (11), a magnetic field of a magnetic body (2) embedded in the belt (11) is detected by a magnetism sensor (3) fixed to the earth, and elongation of the belt (11) is calculated from temporal variation of the detected magnetic field.
