ZUFUEHR- UND ABFUEHRVORRICHTUNG FUER EINE PRESSE

The invention concerns a feed and discharge device for a board press. The device consists of two conveyor units, which are placed side by side, which are narrow as compared with the width of the press, and which can be run into the opened press gap from opposite directions perpendicular to the direction of travel of the board (1) to be treated and which can be removed out of said gap by means of return movements of opposite directions. The conveyor units consist of a transfer base (3a) that receives the boards to be pressed as well as of a grasping-transfer member (3b) placed underneath said base (3a). The grasping-transfer members are arranged to be placed into contact with the pressed board (1) so as to raise the board off the lower heated plate (2b) of the press. By means of the operating movements of the transfer bases and of the grasping-transfer members, respectively, the pressed board can be removed out of the press and, in a corresponding way, a fresh board can be received as simultaneous operations.
