  • Publication number: 20140284179
    Abstract: A loading station allows transport bags to be loaded for transporting goods in a hanging manner. Each of the transport bags is provided with a first bag wall, wherein the portion of which facing upwards when in the transport position is connected to a carrying member for transporting the transport bag in a hanging manner. A second bag wall of the transport bag forms, together with the first bag wall, a bag which is closed downwards and towards two opposite sides at least when the transport bag is in the transport position. A coupling of the transport bag allows the two bag walls to be detachably connected to each other in a wall connecting portion facing upwards in the hanging transport position of the transport bag or in a lower wall connecting portion. The loading station has at least one conveyor run for conveying the transport bags. The loading station further has the following station sections: an inlet section, a loading section, and a discharge section.

  • Patent number: 8561787
    Abstract: A conveyor installation for conveying and accumulating hanging items comprises a drive chain which is mounted to a guide rail, and retaining members which are mounted on rollers below the drive chain. The retaining members—together with the items to be transported which are suspended therefrom—are conveyed by the drive chain in a direction of conveyance and, if required, stopped and accumulated by means of a stopping device, with the drive connection being released between the drive chain and the retaining members by displacing the drive chain upwards due to a particular design of coupling members arranged on the lower side of the drive chain.

  • Publication number: 20120037272
    Abstract: A conveyor installation comprises carrier bags for material to be transported, wherein the carrier bags are suspended from carrier dogs which are moved in a transport rail in a transport direction. At a loading and unloading station, the carrier bags are rotatable from their transport position, which is transverse to the transport direction, into a position which points in the transport direction, wherein an upper loading opening is opened at the same time. Backwards rotation of the carrier bags is caused by the force of gravity.
