Claim 14:
15. An assembly comprising at least one fiber web and a device for transferring and/or introducing said at least one fibre web into a consolidation installation, said device comprising at least one transfer element comprising at least one roller (12), at least one saber (16) and an endless belt (13) extending between an upstream end and a downstream end so as to wrap around the roller at the upstream end and the saber at the downstream end, the at least one roller being arranged so as to drive the endless belt in rotation, and the at least one saber giving the downstream end of the belt the shape of a corner or beak, the at least one endless belt (13) being modular and comprising links in the form of transverse strips that are articulated to one another, said at least one fiber web being transported by said endless belt from said upstream end to said downstream end, characterized in that the endless belt (13) comprises a plurality of sub-belts extending parallel to one another, wherein the sub-belts have respective widths, measured in direction CD, which are each less than their respective length being the distance, measured in direction MD, from the upstream end to the downstream end, whereas the belt has a width, measured in direction CD, which is greater than its length, measured in direction MD, the lengths of the sub-belts being all equal.
