Publication number: 20240375864Abstract: A rack arrangement for item-storage, has an aisle, in which an automatically operated storage-and-retrieval vehicle can travel, a first rack element on one side of the aisle, a second rack element on the opposite side of the aisle, a rail arrangement on the rack elements, the storage-and-retrieval vehicle being able to travel on the rail arrangement, and item carriers, which are arranged in the rack elements and have their longitudinal extent in a direction transverse to the aisle. Each item carrier is a single-piece profile element having a bearing surface for the stored item. Each item carrier has material deformations in certain portions along its longitudinal extent. Located between longer, main longitudinal portions, on which the item carrier has the same, uniform cross-sectional shape, are short longitudinal portions, on which the item carrier has a different cross-sectional shape caused by the material deformation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2024Publication date: November 14, 2024Applicant: NEDCON B.V.Inventors: Pieter A.M.

Publication number: 20240209620Abstract: A horizontal floor consists of a load-bearing structure and panels, which are laid thereon and together form a floor surface. The load-bearing structure is made up of at least one main profile, which is fastened on vertical supports, and secondary profiles, which are arranged transversely in relation to the main profile, are connected at their end to the main profile and on which the panels rest by way of their underside. Forces acting horizontally on the floor are absorbed by the load-bearing structure. For this purpose, a single piece connecting element is provided. The connecting element has a first fastening edge, a parallel second fastening edge, and a central portion between the two fastening edges. The first fastening edge is supported on the main profile and connected to it. The second fastening edge is supported on the underside of one of the panels and connected to this panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: June 27, 2024Applicant: NEDCON B.V.Inventor: Jan-Willem FREDERIKS

Publication number: 20240199328Abstract: A storage facility has a base frame composed of vertical supports and horizontal crosspieces. A carrier can be driven on two rails in an aisle through the base frame for introducing and removing goods. Each rail has a horizontal limb forming a running surface for the carrier, and a vertical limb. The rail, in a fastening region extending over a partial length thereof, is fastened by fastening elements to one of the supports and/or crosspieces. The vertical limb, in the fastening region, is provided with holes through which the fastening elements lead. The vertical limb, in the fastening region but outside the holes, is provided with at least one structural weakening in the form of an opening. The latter extends like a slit substantially in the longitudinal direction of the rail and at a height closer to the horizontal limb than to the upper edge of the vertical limb.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Applicant: NEDCON B.V.Inventor: Jan-Willem FREDERIKS

Patent number: 12004646Abstract: A rack for storing goods has supports which extend between crossbeams. The supports are downwardly open profiles having a first and a second side wall. A horizontal wall connects the side walls and forms a goods support. At least one crossbeam has two slots, each with a locking projection that engages in an opening in the respective side wall. The openings are located in short end portions of the side walls. Central portions form a majority length of the side walls. The end portions are separated from the central portions by a slot which extends from the lower edge of the side wall over a portion of the height of the side wall. The end portions have in the direction toward the lower edge thereof a wall extent which in comparison with the wall extent on the central portion is offset in the direction toward the profile center plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: NEDCON B.V.Inventor: Erwin Straatsma

Publication number: 20230303322Abstract: A warehouse for the storage and retrieval, by a distribution vehicle, of goods placed on load carriers, includes aisles which are located in a frame and along which the distribution vehicle is able to travel. It further includes storage locations in the frame for the load carriers. The aisles comprise guideways which are fastened to the frame and which each have a rail along which the distribution vehicle is able to travel, as well as side walls along the rail. In order to reduce vibrations in the region of the fastenings of successive guideways and crossings the guideways are each fastened, at their mutually facing ends, by means of at least one connecting element to a horizontal support surface fixed to the frame. The connecting element is located laterally outside the rail and laterally outside the plane in which each side wall extends.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: NEDCON B.V.Inventors: Jeroen HERMSEN, Erwin STRAATSMA

Patent number: 11370609Abstract: A store for storing parcels has a main aisle and storage aisles arranged transversely to the main aisle and provided with storage places for the parcels. Beams arranged parallel to the main aisle and fastened to supports bear at least some of the weight forces acting in the storage aisles. A transport unit for transporting parcels is arranged in the main aisle. The transport unit has a first transport mechanism moving along the main aisle and a second transport mechanism that transfers parcels from the transport unit into a storage aisle, takes up parcels from a storage aisle and delivers them to the transport unit. The second transport mechanism has a slide movable transversely to the main aisle. The slide forms a rest for parcels during transfer and take-up. A tiltable platform that supports the slide is provided with a tilt mechanism that tilts the platform relative to the transport unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: NEDCON B.V.Inventor: Jan Willem Frederiks

Patent number: 11286112Abstract: A warehouse has a rack with an aisle and rails fastened to the rack extend along the aisle. The rails are made of rail segments that have a first profile section with a top side running surface. A distribution vehicle is movable along the aisle on the top side running surfaces and transports goods to be stored or retrieved from the rack. A pressure distribution bar is arranged where a first rail segment abuts a second rail segment. The pressure distribution bar has first and second length portions. The first length portion is supported against the first profile section of the first rail segment, the second length portion is supported against the first profile section of the second rail segment. A pressure transmission element has a first end supported from below against the pressure distribution bar and a second end supported against a counter bearing arranged at the rack.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: NEDCON B.V.Inventor: Jan Willem Frederiks
