Abstract: An arrangement for transporting wall material, for example, shaped bricks for the lining of ladles, converters, blast furnaces or the like, where the transport is intended to take place between a supply place, usually located outside the converter or corresponding apparatus, and a consumption place, for example a bricklaying station adjacent an inner wall in the converter or corresponding apparatus, which arrangement comprises a vertically adjustable carrying device and a conveying device for substantially vertical transport of material transferred to the conveying device, and transfer mechanism is provided for advancing material transported down by the conveyor onward to the consumption space, and a work platform is provided to be carried by the carrying device. The arrangement as disclosed shows the conveying device as a substantially helical slither plate, e.g., a chute or corresponding slide device, along which material supplied at an upper portion of the helical plate is intended to slide.

Abstract: A loading device (FIG. 4) for loading goods into and unloading goods from a container, comprising a number of lifting beams, for example six, which are supported horizontally in a carrying stand (2), and which are formed of a lower and an upper beam portion (10,11), and a flexible closed hose (12) located between said beam portions, which hose has adjustable air supply for lifting and lowering the upper beam portion (11) relative to the lower beam portion (10).

Abstract: Procedure for automatically disposing and fetching transport carts and a device for carrying out the procedure is disclosed. The carts preferably are non-driven and are intended to be moved by an electrically driven traction truck. The carts are also intended to be disposed automatically and in a given order on a disposition area, in a row, adjacent one another. The carts are to be automatically fetched from the disposition area in arbitrary order. During fetching of a cart, the traction truck is directed relative to a cart for the coupling of the traction truck to a coupling gear on the cart so that the truck and cart are brought into position for coupling together without the need for the traction truck to make any backward movement. The traction truck is aligned so that its longitudinal direction at the coupling position is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cart.
