| The invention relates to a circulating storage system (1) comprising at least two storage columns (4) of stored-goods carriers (5) that are arranged one above another and circulate during operation, comprising at least one horizontal conveyor device (9) which nullsicnull by means of which, during operation, the stored-goods carriers can be transferred from one storage column to the other storage column, and comprising a vertical conveyor device (7) which, during operation, can be moved in the vertical direction by at least one part of the storage column nullsicnull. Known circulating storage systems of this type have the disadvantage that they can be expanded only by lengthening the storage column, for which purpose an appropriate amount of space is needed at the place where they are erected and that, in the case of high storage capacities, the access times are too long. In order to avoid these disadvantages, the invention provides for the circulating storage systems further to have at least one further vertical conveyor device (7), for each vertical conveyor device to be assigned to a storage column, and for each storage column to have the capability of being moved in the vertical direction, independently of the other storage column, by the vertical conveyor device assigned to it. | ||||||

| In a conveying system with rail-like guide means (2) and conveying means (1) movable along the guide means (2) independently of one another, a displaceable rail element (5.1-5.4) is provided for a changeover from serial to parallel conveyance. The displaceable rail element (5.1-5.4) connects in a first position with an essentially stationary rail element (3). In this first position it is filled with conveying means (1) being supplied in series along the stationary rail element (3). The conveying means (1) are then blocked on the displaceable rail element (5.1-5.4) and the displaceable rail element (5.1-5.4) is displaced in essence transverse to its length, thereby conveying the conveying means in parallel. For a changeover from parallel to serial conveyance, the displaceable rail element (5.1-5.4) is brought into a second position once again transverse to its own length, in which second position it again connects with an essentially stationary rail element (4, 4′) and the conveying means (1) are unblocked and conveyed away in series from the displaceable rail element (5.1-5.4) along the stationary rail element (4, 4′). Advantageously, a plurality of displaceable rail elements (5.1-5.4) is arranged in parallel and displaced simultaneously along a closed in itself displacement path. During parallel conveyance, conveying means (1) are loaded with objects (11), objects are unloaded from conveying means and/or objects (11) loaded on conveying means (1) are processed, buffered or intermediately stored. | ||||||

| A product-carrying tray 1 has longitudinally slotted end members 3 for sliding engagement on guide rails in a conveyor installation or storage unit. Transverse edges 2 of the tray are provided with coupling members 5 for interengagement with other like units also accommodated on the guide rails. In the illustrated embodiment, the coupling members 5 are defined by interengaging hook structures consisting of projecting portions 7 and laterally extending end portions 6. The tray of the invention is especially suited to accommodating food products within a storage or treatment chamber. The tray may however also serve as a product-carrying element in a conveyor installation. Apart from the hook-type interconnection illustrated, a multiplicity of other interconnecting arrangements may be provided, including, inter alia, alternative mechanical structures and magnetic coupling. | ||||||
| 120 | Infeed grouping mechanism for a packaging machine | US879506 | 1992-05-01 | US5161664A | 1992-11-10 | Philippe LeBras |
| A grouping mechanism (14) for grouping articles (B) in a continuous infeed stream comprises a series of spacer elements (16) adapted to engage successive articles from the infeed stream and locate the articles relative to one another as the articles are conveyed through a working reach (W) of the mechanism. The spacer elements have cam followers 18 for co-operating with a rotatable cylindrical cam which cause one group of articles to be spaced apart in the feed direction from a next succeeding group of articles while the spacer elements move through the working reach. A return transfer belt (40) is provided to return the spacer elements along a return reach (R) such that they are returned upstream of the working reach where they are disposed for engagement with successive articles in the infeed stream. | ||||||
