Apparatus and method in which stacks of tin ends are formed and fed longitudinally to a three-endless belt conveyor in spaced relation of stacks with turns in the feed paths after the first conveyor being defined by overlapping separate three-endless belt conveyor assemblies. The stacks of tin ends may be unwrapped or they may be wrapped, in which latter case, an unwrapping station is provided at which the wrapping is both cut and the wrapping peeled away in response to rotation of the stack. The unwrapped stacks in any case are fed into a continuous stream to a closing station where the individual tin ends are applied to can bodies. In one unwrapping embodiment, the stacks are fed to a first conveyor through the intermediary of a pestle and gripper which are fed in unison to travel a stack to the first conveyor and provision is also made to relax the grip of the pestle and gripper while the wrapper is peeled away.

56 Conveyor system US163535 1988-03-03 US4844239A 1989-07-04 Jerry Norbut
A cable conveyor for transporting articles through a curved path of transport is disclosed. The conveyor has a plurality of pulley assemblies rotatably mounted on a conveyor frame. A cable tangentially contacts and is guided by each successive pulley assembly. The cable carries and transports the articles as it is pulled through a path defined by the pulley assemblies. The pulley assemblies may be spaced so that the path they define is shaped substantially the same as the shape of the conveyor frame. The conveyor may provide a spiral path of transport so that the articles may be raised or lowered. Alternatively, the conveyor may provide an arc to transport the articles from one direction of transport to another.
57 Apparatus for heat treatment of material in pieces at high temperature US490176 1983-04-29 US4526537A 1985-07-02 Karl F. Rumbach
The invention relates to apparatus for heat treatment of material in pieces at high temperature, especially for firing ceramic material. In this apparatus supports in the form of elongated support elements are provided on carrier elements rotatable about fixed axes, the supports are guided in the transport direction and are spaced a clear distance from one another at right angles to the transport direction. This results in even heat treatment of the material, a reduction in the energy consumption, shortening of the transit time, and a significant reduction in the construction and running costs.

60 Storage and order-picking system and method for providing articles in a particular order US15443486 2017-02-27 US10059519B2 2018-08-28 Christian Hofmann
A storage and order-picking system and method characterized by a shelf arrangement having shelves, vertical conveyors, and autonomously movable, driverless transport vehicles (FTF) with an FTF plane which is substantially barrier-free and which extends under, over or through the shelf arrangement. The FTF plane is coupled to the shelf arrangement by conveyor technology via the vertical conveyors. The FTF plane has a travel surface with a topology of travel points and segments along which the FTFs move in a guided manner, the segments each extending from one travel point to another adjacent travel point. A fleet manager produces and outputs travel orders for the FTFs, the orders comprising individual navigation information, in order to transport the storage goods, which are not yet transported to the FTF plane by the vertical conveyors in an absolute order, along individual travel paths specifically produced for the FTF away from/to the vertical conveyors.
