In a method for separating successive carriages (4, 5) which are included in an overhead conveyor system and which via rollers are suspended on a shaft (2) which is rotated and thus propels the carriages along the track, a trailing carriage (5) is raised away from the shaft (2) and thus stopped, whereas a leading carriage (4) continues to be propelled with its rollers in continuous rolling contact with the shaft (2). The trailing carriage (5) which thus is temporarily stopped is then lowered onto the shaft (2) again and becomes propelled anew. A separating device (1) included in such an overhead conveyor system comprises a first means (11) for temporarily raising the trailing carriage (5), and a second means for effecting said raising. An assembly for accumulating suspended carriages in a buffer store comprises a plurality of such separating devices which are arranged in direct succession and mechanically connected in series. |

| 92 | Cable drive for overhead conveyor | US11881445 | 2007-07-27 | US20090026042A1 | 2009-01-29 | Charles P. Tabler |
| In a drive system for an overhead conveyor, a first drive shaft presents a path of travel for a trolley, and a second drive shaft spaced from the first drive shaft provides a continuation of the path of travel. A flexible drive cable spans the gap between the shafts and interconnects the terminal end of the first shaft with the receiving end of the second shaft to transfer torque thereto to rotate the second shaft. The cable comprises spiral wound strands joined together to preclude unraveling thereof and thus the second shaft may be driven by the first shaft when their longitudinal axes are not collinear. | ||||||

| 94 | Stopping device for a transport trolley | US09526521 | 2000-03-16 | US06305295B1 | 2001-10-23 | Walter Buck |
| Stopping device for a transport trolley which can be moved along guidances or rails (2-3), whereby the transport trolley (4) is provided with driving wheels (7) which cooperate with a driving axle (6) and which, by means of a lever (14) with a contact wheel (17), can be set at different angles in respect to said driving axle (6), characterized in that this stopping device (1) consists of at least a lever (20) with an ascending edge (40) and a descending lateral edge (41), prolonged by an acceleration lever (24), the transition of which is formed by a tip (T), and a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric drive which can position said levers (20) and (24) in three positions, namely, with said tip (T) outside the path of said contact wheel (17) and out of contact with levers (20) and (24); with lever (20) and tip (T) entirely in the path of the contact wheel (17); and with the tip (T) outside of the path of the contact wheel (17), however, with the contact wheel (17) in contact with the acceleration lever (24). | ||||||
| 95 | Trolley retention abutment for overhead conveying system | US09305475 | 1999-05-06 | US06293388B1 | 2001-09-25 | Christopher L. Felter |
| Overhead conveying system trolleys supported by canted driven rollers engage on and form spiral loci of engagement with a rotated drive shaft in a powered section, and each has a top wheel used to lift the driven rollers off of the drive shaft as the trolley enters a gravity rail section where the wheel is supported on a rail and where a step feeder releases trolleys one at a time from or along the gravity rail section. A pivoted step feeder arm in a receiving and holding position receives the wheel of the lead trolley, which actuates a release limit switch, to cause the arm to rotate and release the trolley. In this release position, the retention abutment mounted on the accumulation side of the arm, prevents any following trolley from actuating the release limit switch. The arm remains in the release position until a second limit switch is actuated by the released trolley moving away, to cause the arm to rotate to the receiving and holding position to receive the next lead trolley. The retention abutment has a cam that will engage and force back the following trolley while the arm rotates into the release position and thereby keep the following trolley from swinging and actuating the release limit switch while the gravity line is exposed to significant back pressure from accumulated trolleys. | ||||||
| 96 | High load overhead conveyor drive system | US594086 | 1996-01-30 | US5785168A | 1998-07-28 | Thomas E. Beall, Jr. |
| A load of an overhead conveyor is connected to a carriage, that has elastomeric material biasing a plurality of pivotally mounted driven wheels against a rotatable drive shaft extending along the transporting direction. The driven wheels are canted with respect to the drive shaft so that when the drive shaft is rotated, a helical loci of engagement between the drive shaft and driven wheels provides sufficient traction through the engagement force of the bias to propel the hanger along the transporting path. A first portion of weight of the load is carried through the bias member and through the driven wheels to the drive shaft, and thereafter a next portion of weight of the load is carried through a support wheel to a load support structure independently of the drive shaft. Preferably, the drive shaft is composed of a number of drivingly discontinuous sections that are aligned or alignable for diverting transporting paths so as to each be driven by a separate set of a drive motor, mechanical transmission and drive belt. The drive shaft may include curved sections so that the transporting path may take on any desired shape. The drive shaft is mounted by a plurality of bearings within a channel. | ||||||

| 98 | Accumulating pallet conveyor | US602728 | 1990-10-24 | US5080220A | 1992-01-14 | Benjamin P. DiFalco |
| A live roller pallet conveyor utilizes a plurality of drive assemblies spaced in aligned relation along the conveyor frame and which project upwardly into the plane containing the lower drive surface of the pallet. The drive assemblies have drive rollers which contact the pallet and are controlled in both drive direction and elevation. When driving the pallet, the drive assemblies carry substantially the entire weight thereof, except for that amount which is carried by spaced rollers along one edge of the conveyor frame. The arrangement permits the pallet to be driven virtually at the peripheral speed of the drive rollers, when driving longitudinallly of the conveyor, as well as permitting a controlled speed variation with fine accelerating or decelerating effects as the drive rollers are angled in drive direction. In one form, the pallet has an elongated free spinning roller on its under side which contacts the drive rollers for producing pallet motion. | ||||||
| 99 | Intelligent driverless vehicle | US518570 | 1983-07-29 | US4620280A | 1986-10-28 | Barry C. Conklin |
| An intelligent driverless vehicle rolls on a track and has a pair of drive wheels which engage with a rotating drive shaft. The angular position of the drive wheels relative to the drive shaft determines the speed of the vehicle. Each vehicle has a microcomputer associated therewith, a position encoder for supplying information regarding the position of the vehicle to the microcomputer, an angular position encoder for providing information regarding the angular position of the drive wheels to the microcomputer for the computation of vehicle speed, and a drive wheel control means and associated linkage for changing the angular position of the drive wheels and thus vehicle speed in response to commands from the onboard microcomputer. The microcomputer communicates with a central computer via a bidirectional communications link. The central computer controls the speed and acceleration of each vehicle by selectively communicating with the microcomputers on board the vehicles. | ||||||
