Abstract: An endless conveyor belt for an air conditioning plant, in which the conveyor belt extends helically along part of its length, comprising transverse rods (4) and lateral elements (3). The conveyor belt is characterized in that the lateral elements (3) are connected in pairs to only two rods (4), which are fixedly connected to said lateral elements (3) and form, with these, a link means (2), and adjoining link means (2) are articulated to each other by a coupling element (5) arranged therebetween and connected to neighboring rods (4) of the adjoining link means (2).

Abstract: An apparatus for handling palletized goods stacked in tiers consists of a pivoted cradle having two substantially perpendicular supports for the goods, one of said supports normally constituting a horizontal loading plane and the other a vertical supporting plane, said planes being adapted alternatingly to support the goods due to the pivoting movement of the cradle. According to the invention the supporting plane is composed of a plurality of carriages which are movable towards and away from the loading plane in such a way that the various tiers are separable from each other when supported by the supporting plane formed of the carriages.
