Abstract:
A buffering device comprises a frame and a conveyor belt, a supply station, a discharge station, a first reversing member reverses the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, and a return guide includes a second reversing member. The buffering device is configured such that the conveyor belt moves from the supply station via the first reversing member to the discharge station, after which the conveyor belt is guided back to the supply station via the return guide. A portion of the conveyor belt n forms a buffer section of which the length varies. The remaining portion of the conveyor belt forms a compensation section for compensating a change of length of the buffer section during simultaneous displacement of the first and second reversing members with respect to the frame. The first reversing member includes a buffer carriage for radially guiding the conveyor belt, which guide is fixed to the carriage.

Claim (Index 4):
The buffering device of  claim 3 ,\n wherein one of the first static reversing member or the first displaceable reversing member has a guide fixed to the frame or the first displacement carriage, respectively, and configured to guide the conveyor belt; wherein the other one of the first static reversing member or the first displaceable reversing member has two guides fixed to the frame or the first displacement carriage, respectively, and configured to guide the conveyor belt; wherein one of the second static reversing member or the second displaceable reversing member has a guide fixed to the frame or the second displacement carriage, respectively, configured to guide the conveyor belt; and wherein the other one of the second static reversing member or the second displaceable reversing member has two guides fixed to the frame or the second displacement carriage, respectively, and configured to guide the conveyor belt.
