Patent ID: 7810630

Claim:
An arrangement ( 10 ) for the distribution of products (Pn), in which the products (Pn) are transported on a conveyor belt ( 16 ) which runs in a longitudinal direction, from an upstream entry area ( 18 ) to a downstream exit area ( 20 ), at a determined so-called running speed (V 1 ), in which the products (Pn) form, in the entry area ( 18 ), at least one longitudinal queue, called first queue (F 1 ), with a determined upstream spacing (E 1 ) between two successive products (Pn), and which comprises at least one distribution device ( 16 ), called deflector, consisting of a phaser ( 22 , 23 ) which, arranged between the entry area ( 18 ) and the exit area ( 20 ) on the path of the products (Pn), is designed to deflect at least a portion of the products (Pn) according to a determined distribution sequence, the phaser ( 22 , 23 ) comprising at least one cam ( 26 ) which is driven at a deflection speed (V 2 ) and which is able to come into contact with at least one product (Pn) of the first queue (F 1 ) to laterally deflect said product (Pn) from an initial position (A) to a determined final position (B), transversally offset relative to the initial position (A), so as to form at least one second queue (F 2 ) of products (Pn), characterized in that the phaser ( 22 , 23 ) comprises a first ( 50 ) and a second ( 52 ) similar belt which are arranged in parallel and which are driven independently, and in that each belt ( 50 , 52 ) is controlled in an active operating state before the end of the active state of the other belt ( 50 , 52 ), so that the deflection of a product (Pn) begins before the previously deflected downstream product (Pn) has reached its final position (B) in the second queue (F 2 ).
