Indexed storage system for curved components, e.g. for the automobile industry has index blocks with kinematic transmission to move between empty and lowered use position

摘要

The system incorporates several index rows (2) with index blocks (4) forming holder spaces (4a,14) for curved components. In at least one of the rows, each block is born via a kinematic transmission. The transmission moves a block from an unloaded rest position (A), in which it is held by a tension element, into a lowered load position (B) when a component is placed in it, in which it is moved towards the block in front of it in the same row. The kinematic transmission consists of a lever drive with two rocker arms located in the row at a relative distance, and hinged to a block and to a frame (2a,b) of the index row.
