In bakery technology, it is often necessary to feed one after the other on a conveyor belt Knife on a conveyor device moved transversely to the feeder belt in transverse rows with a predetermined, Selling as selectable number of pieces as possible. This need occurs especially with the transfer the kneading blade brought by a long rolling machine onto a subsequent belt or dough piece hanger on that the active blade is in a proofer with a certain number of pieces in each transverse row feeds. To create a simple and reliable device for this purpose is the aim of Invention.

It is an automatically working dough treatment and baking system became known, in which between a feeder belt and the oven belt a conveyor is switched on, which consists of a hanger equipped with pivotable buckets exists, and which lateral guide rails for tilting the cup into the receiving position and are assigned to tilt down into the emptying position. The ones receiving the dough pieces Cups are guided here over side rails so that they are in a horizontal position at the transfer point spent and held in this horizontal position up to the furnace. The handover takes place at the furnace in such a way that the cups are pivoted by 180 ° by means of a pinion and this is the Pieces of dough are placed one after the other on the oven belt.

Such an arrangement does not make it possible, in series, from a feeder belt, in particular the conveyor belt of a long rolling machine, rolled up active blade in a very specific way Place the number of pieces on a conveyor device running transversely to it.

This possibility is offered by a device for depositing pieces of dough, which has also become known, those from a housing connected downstream of the feeder belt with pivotably arranged on the latter and can be tilted up by means of stops for filling and simultaneously tilted down by means of stops There is cups, the cups by means of them arranged laterally from their center of gravity Shafts in the housing chains are pivotable. In order to use this device a predetermined Tipping a number of cups at the same time is an otherwise rigid uiid that guides the cups to surfaces Rail at the tipping point provided a movable part, which can be moved horizontally and laterally is. This piece of rail can be controlled in a relatively complex way via a lever mechanism, Device for moving active blades

which not only entails additional costs, but also the need for repairs of the depositing device elevated. In addition, with this arrangement it is not possible, or only with great difficulty, the number of to change the cup to be tipped at the same time.

The invention is based on the object of creating a device which the described Does not have disadvantages and in which the number of active blades to be deposited is changed in a simple manner can be.

According to the present invention, a device of the type indicated above is proposed at which laterally offset the shafts of the cups, control means cooperating with a guide rail and in which the guide rail has graduations that serve to tilt the cup, their number, spacing and lateral offsets the number of cups to be tipped at the same time and the control means of these cups are dimensioned accordingly. If in such an arrangement the If the number of cups to be tipped is changed, all that is required is to replace the graduated rail or add another rail.

The control means of the cup shaft are provided with rollers running on the upper edge of the rail, which, viewed in the direction of movement, are attached to the shafts at increasing distances from the cups, the width of the upper edge of the guide rail varying from step to step to the same extent decreases as the distance between the levers and the cups increases
For guiding those with the tipping cups

- Dough pieces to be implemented are also proposed to arrange collecting funnels below the guide rail, which have elastic stops for the cups. During the tipping process, the tipping

pend the cups on the elastic stops, which means that the cups are quickly emptied, but without rebounding.

In order to transfer the incoming active blade to the first conveyor at the correct timing secure, is in a further development of the invention below the end of the feeder belt, a first collecting funnel arranged with a movable flap whose flap is automatically opened when a cup is passed under the funnel.

Further features of the invention are based on an embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail below. It shows

F i g. 1 a side view of the device according to the invention,

FIG. 2 shows an enlarged partial view of the device in connection with one designed as a conveyor belt second conveyor and

F i g. 3 shows a plan view of the device according to FIG

The long rolling machine indicated only at its end has an upper one that is guided over an end roller 1 Band 2 and a lower band 4 guided over an end roller 3, between which the Pieces of dough 5 rolled long and transported to the left. Located under the end of the lower band 4 a first collecting funnel 6 with a flap, which is in such a way by over pairs of sprockets 7, 8, 9 and 10 chains 12, 13, which are moved in the direction of the arrow and equipped with buckets 11, are controlled in that it always opens when a cup moves under it. The cups 11 are to the Chains 12, 13 rotatably mounted by means of shafts 14, at the front ends of which are fixedly provided with rollers 15 Lever 16 are attached. These are, preferably adjustable, increasing evenly from right to left Distances from the cups 11 mounted on the shafts 14, in such a way that successive Groups of four, five, six, seven, etc. cups each have the same lever arrangement.

In addition to the front chain 12, possibly also next to the rear chain 13, an inner guide rail 17 is attached, the width of which extends in the direction on the Becherll extending upper edge runs approximately at the level of the chain. Your top edge points in the between the two upper sprockets 8 and 9 lying on a plurality of equal steps 18, whose Number and spacing of the number and the spacing of the cups 11 belonging to a cup group and their Width the distances of the rollers 15 of the levers 16 of the successive cups 11 of a cup group correspond. As shown in FIG. 3 it can be seen, the cups 11 by their rollers 15 on the rail 17 running lever 16 is held in the horizontal position until it reaches the stepped part reach the rail 17.

As a result of the above-described arrangement and dimensioning of the steps 18 ¹ to 18 ⁴ , all rollers 15 of the levers 16 reach one of the steps at the same moment, so that at the same time all cups 11 pivot to the right and empty the active blade 5 contained in them downwards.

Below that part of the chains 12, 13 located between the pairs of sprockets 8, 9, and thus also below the openings of the cups 11 are in a number of collecting funnels corresponding to the number of cups per group 18 arranged, which catch the active blade and either (see FIG. F i g. 1) in transport vessels or (see FIG. 2) forward it to a conveyor belt 20. The transport vessels 19 are on one in itself closed conveyor, e.g. B. a hanger or conveyor belt 21 attached, as well as the conveyor belt 20 runs perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and transports the active blade deposited on it further,

ίο, for example, to a proofer.

On the funnels 18 elastic stops 22 are attached, which serve to prevent the blade from falling out to accelerate from the abutting against them cups 11 and a rebound of the cups to prevent.

The number of cups that tilt at the same time depends on how many blades are next to each other to be placed in the transport vessels 19 or on the conveyor belt 20. At very large The number of buckets pivoting down at the same time can include levers 16 and rails 17 on both sides Graduations 18 are provided.
