Abstract: A cornering conveyor, meaning a conveying enabling infeed of products in one direction and outfeed thereof in another direction, usually but not exclusively, essentially at right angles to one another. The conveyor or conveyor system of the invention comprises an infeed conveyor and an outfeed conveyor which travels past the discharge end of the infeed conveyor and at an angle with regard to its direction of conveying of the products or the like. The outfeed conveyor operatively has associated therewith essentially conical clamping bodies mounted to be rotatable about their related axis and arranged in succession in the direction of conveying of the outfeed conveyor and in spaced relationship from the discharge end of the infeed conveyor. The tips of the clamping bodies are directed towards the conveying direction of the infeed conveyor. The outer surfaces of the clamping bodies together with the outfeed conveyor form a respective conveyor or conveying gap which is effective in the conveying direction of the outfeed conveyor. In order that the cornering conveyor or conveyor system is also suitable for handling products arriving at the infeed conveyor in an imbricated product stream, the spacing of the successive clamping bodies increases from the discharge end of the infeed conveyor in the conveying direction of the outfeed conveyor.
