81 Method and System for Tamping Media During Transportation US12702265 2010-02-08 US20110196531A1 2011-08-11 Douglas K. Herrmann
A method for tamping media during transportation is disclosed. Multiple parallel beltsets lie between an inlet station(s) and a delivery station(s). The multiple parallel beltsets have one or more parallel belts, a motor connected to drive the beltsets, and multiple pushers attached to the belts of the beltset with the pushers of one beltset placed between the pushers of the adjacent beltset. A control module coupled to the motors accepts a set of instructions and controls tamping of the media stack during transportation. The control module varies the velocity of one of the beltsets relative to the adjacent beltset and adjusts the distance between successive pushers on the beltsets to accept media or to tamp media during transportation.

83 Belt conveyor US10975199 2004-10-27 US07093709B2 2006-08-22 David H Cotter; Kenneth J Kooistra; Curtis E LeMay
A belt conveyor or belt accumulator includes at least two tandem zones, each of which is defined by a motorized roller and at least one idler roller positioned along and between opposite sidewalls of the conveyor and a continuous belt routed around the motorized roller and the idler roller or rollers. The motorized roller is operable to drive the belt around the rollers to move articles along the respective zone. The belt may have a low modulus characteristic and may be initially stretched at least 0.75% in its lengthwise direction when the belt is reeved or routed around the rollers. The motorized roller of each zone may be independently operable, such as in response to an article sensor at each zone, to convey or accumulate articles on the respective zone of the belt conveyor.

86 Belt conveyor system US923145 1986-10-14 US4738353A 1988-04-19 Rolf Johansson
In belt conveyors having two parallel belts (1) with feeders, movement of the belts must be synchronized. The known method of achieving this is by means of electrical systems. The present invention entails a radical simplification of this synchronization by using a single belt (1) crossing over below the conveyor, the two parallel sections on the upper side of the conveyor thus moving snychronously. The conveyor according to the invention is less expensive and more reliable than previously known conveyors, nor is it dependent on a source of electric power.
87 Conveyor system US847224 1986-04-02 US4738352A 1988-04-19 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.
88 Apparatus for placing cones in a box US555405 1983-11-28 US4555892A 1985-12-03 Berend J. Dijkman
The high density packaging of generally conical articles is effected by mechanism which feeds two rows of the suspended articles onto a conveyor so that the articles lie on their sides in a single horizontal row arrangement aligned in spaced relation along the path of travel imparted by the conveyor. This arrangement is such that the articles lie in head-to-toe relation. At a downstream region, the progress of the articles is arrested so that they sequentially crowd into touching relation define a contiguous sequence. Transfer mechanism transfer a group of articles from the sequence as a layer and deposits the layer in a receptacle. The transfer mechanism then transfers a second group in the receptacle as a layer nested with the first layer. To achieve high density, the second group of articles has an orientation relative to the sequence which is different from that of the first group.

90 Plural cable container conveyor and turn therefor US940927 1978-09-11 US4230223A 1980-10-28 Louis Flajnik
A dual cable conveyor and a turn comprising two parallel horiztonally running container-conveying and supporting cables. The cables run in parallel tracks and both simultaneously support the can which straddles the cables. At the turn, an upper and a lower sheave are provided independently rotatable about a common vertical axis. Each sheave has a peripheral groove defined by a narrow upper flange and a wide cable-supporting lower flange. The upper flange is less than the radius of the cable and the lower flange is greater than the radius but smaller than the diameter. The inner cable rides about the upper sheave which is smaller and runs faster than the lower sheave. The inner cable has lengthwise thereof its upper sector tangential to the outer periphery of the upper sheave and therewith supports and advances the cans between appropriately curved inner and outer guide rails. The outer cable disappears below the upper sheave upstream of the entry into the corner and reappears downstream of the exit from the corner into the straight run.
