Device for intermediate storage of variable format goods - has function elements swivel mounted on conveyor

摘要

The device for the intermediate storage of goods of variable format has function elements for picking up, storing and discharging the goods. These function elements are attached for swivel movement on the conveyor means in one axis (8) and are fixed kinematically relative to a frame-fixed guide track (11{) (11) in a second axis (9). The conveyors are endless chains with longitudinal members. The function elements are storage segments (7), guided by rollers (10) on the guide track and each provided with a support element (12). In the area of the conveyor track where the rollers are not in functional engagement, this ensures their stay in a common plane. ADVANTAGE - An appropximately constant position of the goods relative to the direction of gravity irrespective of the vertical or horizontal movements of the storage segments is ensured through the attachment of the storage segments on the conveyor.
