Apparatus for handling stangenfoermigen or optionally elongated packaging nsta ends

摘要

A buffer storage system for rod-like or elongate package articles comprises an endless conveyor band 1 along which the articles are conveyed continuously in a substantially horizontal direction. Elevator means 5, 6 effect removal of said articles from said conveyor band by movement of said elevator means with said conveyor band in the direction of movement thereof in synchronism with said conveyor band and, simultaneously with the horizontal movement, upwards to lift said articles to a position away from said conveyor band, from which position the articles are transferable to a storage position. The elevator means are capable of effecting placement of said articles onto said conveyor band by movement of said elevator means in the direction of movement thereof in synchronism with said conveyor band and, simultaneously, by a movement downwards to lower said articles onto said conveyor band.
