Abstract:
A device for emptying transport bags conveyed in a suspended manner, includes a conveying system via which transport bags may be supplied in a suspended manner along a conveying path. The transport bags have a pocket that is open at the top when in the filled state and a front side. A circulating conveyor belt for receiving piece good units transported in the transport bags is included, and in a contact section, the conveying paths of the conveying system and the conveyor belt are situated relative to one another in such a way that the distance between the conveying paths of the conveying system and the conveyor belt become continuously smaller, so that when a transport bag is conveyed along the contact section, the front side of the pocket of the transport bag contacts and comes to rest on the conveyor belt, and the transport bag is thereby pivoted backwards.
Abstract:
A drivable roller having a cylindrical surface for use in a conveyor system for steering conveyed materials conveyed horizontally across the roller, and an arrangement including such a roller. The roller can be connected to a vacuum device and has at least one vacuum opening for generating a vacuum in the region of the cylindrical surface and which opens into the cylindrical surface of the roller.
Abstract:
A transport bag (10) for a suspended conveyor system, particularly a rail-guided conveyor system or a transport chain conveyor system, has a conveyor member, particularly a carriage (20) of a rail-guided (41) conveyor system or a conveyor chain link of a transport chain conveyor system, and a transport bag (10) having a receiving region for receiving one or a plurality of units of goods (91). The transport bag is attached, via a suspension means (17), in a suspended manner to a carrying means (23) of the conveyor member. The transport bag has two frame brackets (15, 16) which are pivotally connected to the suspension means. The two frame brackets (15, 16) are substantially 2-fold rotationally symmetrical to one another, but not mirror symmetrical to one another.
Abstract:
A running rail (1) for a conveyor system, the running rail (1) having a cross-sectional profile comprising, at least three interconnected profiled portions which comprise a first profiled portion (2), laterally open to the outside, for receiving first rollers (32) of a carriage (30), a second profiled portion (3), laterally open to the outside, for receiving second rollers (33) of a carriage (30), a third profiled portion (4), open in the vertical direction, for receiving third rollers (34) of a carriage (1), wherein the first (2) and the second profiled portion (3) are mirror symmetrical to a vertical central plane (40) of the running rail (1).
Abstract:
A carriage for a rail-guided conveying system includes a carriage body, which is designed for embracing a runner rail and which includes a first and a second limb. The limbs are connected to one another by way of a transversely extending connecting section. The first limb has a first roller pair and the second limb has a second roller pair. The first and the second roller pair of the two limbs are arranged crosswise equal and offset to one another. In each case a first runner roller of the first and of the second roller pair is designed as a support roller, via which the load of the carriage can be transmitted onto the runner rail, and a second roller of the first and second roller pair is designed as a guide roller for guiding the carriage along the runner rail.
Abstract:
Conveying apparatus including a plurality of conveying vehicles that can be moved along a movement path by the force of gravity independently of one another for conveying piece goods. The conveying apparatus also includes a discharging device for discharging piece goods from the conveying vehicles to a receiving device as well as an entraining device with a plurality of actively driven entrainment devices. The conveying vehicles include contact elements for producing a guiding contact with the entrainment devices. The entraining device supplies the conveying vehicles to a discharging region of the discharging device while exerting a holding-back contact with the contact elements and guides the conveying vehicles out of the discharging region again while exerting an entraining contact with the contact elements.
Abstract:
A method for filling the pockets of a transport device in the form of a suspension conveyor, the transport device including one or more trolleys which are movably mounted on a trolley track and on each of which a pocket hanging downwards for receiving transported goods is arranged, the pocket formed by at least one flexible material web that is planar when open and that is fastened at both ends to the trolley, forming a carrying loop or transport loop hanging downwards. The material web is releasably fastened by at least one end to the trolley. The method includes: a) advancing a closed pocket, b) opening the pocket by releasing the fastening of the material web to the trolley, c) filling the opened pocket with goods to be transported, d) closing the pocket by fastening the material web to the trolley, and e) transporting away the filled and closed pocket.

Abstract:
A pacing device for a transfer of individual vehicles of a gravity conveyor onto a conveying device of the gravity conveyor that conveys in a paced manner. Thereby, the pacing device is designed such that the individual vehicles can be assigned to a pace of the conveying device and that the pacing device includes a damping mechanism that gently weakens an impulse of an individual vehicle moving in the direction of the pacing device, the impulse acting upon the pacing device. The pacing device can include a release on which the damping mechanism is formed. The damping mechanism in particular can be designed as an arm with an elastic part-region.
