| 90 | Vertical conveying apparatus, continuous furnace having such a vertical conveying apparatus, and carrier therefor | US264134 | 1999-03-05 | US6164961A | 2000-12-26 | Bernhard Paul Luscher; Markus Luscher |
| A vertical conveying apparatus is used particularly advantageously in a vertical continuous furnace, for example, in semiconductor production. Since rubbing contacts are avoided and there is thus barely any wear, continuous furnaces provided therewith are particularly suitable for the sensitive semiconductor products and production processes. Since no lateral guides are necessary for the specially designed carriers in the case of relatively small and average stack heights, there is no rubbing contact in the furnace region either, and wear is thus completely avoided. Furthermore, the invention is distinguished by its mechanical simplicity, which has advantages, in particular as far as durability and maintenance are concerned. The absence of retaining or transporting beams in the furnace region makes it possible to achieve a wide variety of different temperature zones over the vertical height of the stack. Heat losses as a result of the retaining and transporting beams passing through the different heating and temperature zones do not occur. Likewise, the absence of retaining and transporting beams has the benefit that the hot air from the fan heaters cannot be covered over and this arrangement has a positive effect on the temperature homogeneity. | ||||||

| A stacker/unstacker for receptacles such as bread pans or baskets or the like includes a pair of laterally spaced-apart endless chains having receptacle carriers mounted therebetween for conveying receptacles between an infeed-outfeed conveyor and the top of a receptacle stack. The conveyor chains are horizontally spaced-apart in a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction with the carriers mounted for rotation about two spaced-apart axes which are respectively fixed with respect to the chains so that the carriers are stably held in a predetermined orientation and undergo only translational movement along the conveyor path. The path has a transfer portion at the top of the stack wherein the carriers and carried receptacles remain stationary for a time during which the carriers are moved between support and release conditions to pick up or deposit receptacles at the top of the stack. Indexing mechanism moves the transfer portion vertically to keep it at the top of the stack as the stack height changes. Magnetic and non-magnetic carriers are disclosed, as well as several arrangements of the infeed-outfeed conveyor with respect to the stack, and an automatic storage system using the stacker/unstacker. | ||||||
| 98 | Relatch assembly for a conveyor system | US397208 | 1982-07-12 | US4503968A | 1985-03-12 | Rouzas R. Khoylian; James R. Cowdery; David B. Park |
| The relatch assembly employs a trackway of articulated sections which are reciprocated vertically while a carriage is reciprocally driven along the trackway sections to engage a carrier on the descending elevator. The articulated trackway sections permit engagement of a carrier and subsequent pulling of the carrier from the descending elevator. A ramp is also provided to act in synchronism with the trackway sections to support a carrier being pulled from the elevator. The carriage is cycled twice during the time one carrier is pulled from the elevator into relatching engagement with the main conveyor. During the second cycle, the trackway sections remain in a lowermost position. | ||||||
| 99 | Automatic accumulator for rectangular articles | US486112 | 1983-04-18 | US4502587A | 1985-03-05 | Douglas C. Clark |
| Apparatus to accumulate automatically articles traveling between downstream and upstream machines in a production line. The accumulator includes an input magazine, a bin, and an output magazine. When the downstream machine ceases operation, a vertical plunger feeds articles into the input magazine, forming a stack. A loading plunger pushes the completed stack into the bin, where multiple stacks may be held, the stacks being moved from one position to another within the bin by a powered belt. To feed articles from the accumulator back into the production line, a stack is moved into the output magazine. There, a discharge plunger feeds successive lowermost articles in the output magazine onto an output conveyor. The output conveyor has at least twice the throughput capacity as the upstream machine, and articles from the accumulator may be merged into the production line stream, thus making up production time lost during shutdown of the downstream machine. | ||||||
