Device for rolling up pieces of material
First Claim
1. A machine for rolling pieces of soft material in leaf form, comprising a plurality of endless belts, each belt being formed by a plurality of endless elements spaced apart from one another and running parallel to the direction of movement of the belt, the plurality of endless belts being made up of a first belt moving substantially in a horizontal plane and at least one second belt moving in an oblique plane relative to the plane of the first belt so that it crosses the first belt by passage of its elements through the spaces between the elements of the first belt along a line of intersection which forms an acute angle with the direction of movement of the first belt, the first belt forming an obtuse angle with the second belt, as measured in a plane perpendicular to their line of intersection, the direction of movement of the second belt forming an acute angle with the line of intersection of the two belts.

Abstract
The invention relates to a machine for rolling pieces of soft material in leaf form, more particularly food products, such as pancakes. According to the invention, the pieces of material are delivered on a substantially horizontal conveyor belt (1) and are brought into contact with at least one other conveyor belt (8) which crosses the first conveyor belt and has an oblique upward movement relative to the direction of movement of the first conveyor belt. The two belts (3, 9) of the two conveyors are formed by several cords or strings (4, 10) which are parallel to one another and spaced apart from one another, the belt (9) of the second conveyor crossing the horizontal belt (3) of the first conveyor by passage of its cords or strings through the spaces between the cords and strings of the first conveyor.
