SUITCASE DESIGNED FOR AUTOMATED CONVEYOR SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention relates to a suitcase (22, 50) which has been adapted for automated conveyor systems. The inventive suitcase (22, 50) comprises an outer wall which defines a closed surface, and gripping and/or rolling means (26, 62, 68). The aforementioned outer wall comprises: an essentially-cylindrical portion (10, 12, 54) which forms a rolling surface, said cylindrical portion (54) revolving around an axis of rotation (R); and two flat portions (58, 60) forming essentially-parallel sides which are perpendicular to the axis of rotation (R). The gripping and/or rolling means (26, 62, 68) are designed to be housed inside the above-mentioned closed surface.
