Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer mechanism (12) for separating conveyed objects (4) out to the side from a first conveyor system (1) onto another conveyor system (14), with a pushing unit and two parallel flexible drives (15a, b) at a distance apart extending at an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the first conveyor system (1), each of which has an endless traction means (23) which can be driven, and the pushing unit has oppositely lying drivers secured to the traction means (23) and a profiled pushing element (29) which is able to slide out of an initial position at the side, adjacent to a conveyor path (6), into an operating position in the conveyor path (6).

Abstract: The invention describes a conveying apparatus (1) for depalletising and removing, or advancing, goods (4), or goods containers (5) which are stacked in a number of layers (3) on a goods support (2), in particular a pallet, with a lifting action conveying arrangement (7) with load carrying means (13) for the goods support (2) and with a conveying apparatus, e.g. a belt conveyor, roller conveyor etc., extending in a conveying plane (21) perpendicular to a lifting direction, adjustable in the direction of removal of the goods (4) relative to the load carrying means (13) and having an inclined run-on plane (35) facing the conveying plane (21), and with a removal and/or lifting device (45) for separating layers (6), e.g. cardboard separating sheets, arranged between the layers (3) or goods (4) or goods containers (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a roller arrangement (7) for a stowing roller conveyor, comprising a stationary roller axle (20) arranged in a support frame (4) of the stowing roller conveyor, with a driving roller (9) and a conveying roller (10) adapted to be driven and/or braked, if necessary, being rotationally supported on said roller axle; as well as a clutch system (12) arranged between said driving and conveying rollers and comprising clutch components (14, 15) adjustable in relation to one another via a setting device (13), whereby at least one of the clutch components (14, 15) is axially adjustably arranged on the roller axle (20) and adjustable against at least one spring element (36), from a switching position in which it is engaged, into a switching position in which it is disengaged, and whereby the first clutch component (14) is drive-connected with the conveying roller (10), and the other clutch component (15) with the driving roller (9).

Abstract: The invention relates to a rack serving device (1) with a load-bearing means (4) displaceable in the height direction of a mast (2), the mast (2) being guided by means of bogie assemblies (7, 8) on bottom and top guide tracks and mounted so as to be displaceable along the guide tracks by means of a bottom and top friction-locking displacement drive (13, 14). The bottom and the top adjusting mechanisms are guided by means of height and lateral guide elements on the guide track and are designed to be displaceable relative to the guide tracks by means of a drive system (33).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (11) and a method of regulating a temperature of a drive element (2) which can be employed in a deep-freezing application in particular, such as a band, belt or similar, in which at least a part-region of the drive element (2) is heated at least during a relative displacement between the drive element (2) and a machine part. The drive element (2) is adjusted to a pre-definable minimum temperature and a pre-settable minimum temperature is maintained. To this end, the device (11) has at least one module (12), which supplies the drive element (2) with mechanical, electrical or electromagnetic energy, for example.

Abstract: A method of transferring storage units into and out of a racking system and picking them up from delivery areas and discharging them to despatch areas, in which the storage units are placed on a loading platform of a conveyor vehicle, e.g. rack serving unit, and conveyed thereby to various regions of the racking system or into the delivery and despatch regions, characterized in that the loading platform is designed for receiving two storage units one immediately after the other in the feed direction of the storage units and at least one storage unit is pushed from the region of the racking system or the delivery or despatch areas onto the loading platform, being laterally guided, after which the at least one storage unit is placed and aligned on the loading platform in a pre-determined placement position according to the manipulation step about to be performed, whereupon the at least one storage unit is pushed onto the racking system or the despatch area.

Abstract: A telescopic arm of a load-handling system for transferring storage units into and out of a rack stage of a racking system is displaceably supported on a support frame and has a plate-shaped middle slide and a plate shaped top side displaceable relative to the support frame and to each other. The support frame is in the form of a hollow section and has first and second upright longitudinal side walls and a bottom and a top side wall. Lateral guide tracks and a vertical guide track are arranged on the first upright longitudinal side wall. The top slide has lateral guide tracks and a vertical guide track as well as movable drivers for pushing a front or rear face of the storage unit. The middle slide is slidably guided between the support frame and top slide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load-bearing frame (18) for a conveyor device, in particular a shelf-stacking device (1), with a support frame (19) which can be secured on a lift (17) of the conveyor device and, disposed on it, mutually parallel support mechanisms with displaceable telescopic support arms for receiving a storage unit such as a pallet (6), box, etc., and a conveyor system forming a conveying direction extends parallel with a displacement direction of the support mechanisms (21). The conveyor system consists of conveyor mechanisms (27) with two linear conveyors (26) arranged in pairs, disposed symmetrically by reference to a mid-plane (31) and extending between the support mechanisms (21) perpendicular to the standing surface (8) of the shelf-stacking device (1), forming a conveyor direction parallel with a displacement direction of the support mechanisms (21).

Abstract: A roller conveyor with a plurality of rollers (3, 6, 13) which are held in a frame (2), which rollers are assigned to several sections (4), and a drivable and brakable roller (13) is assigned to each section (4) which is coupled with the other rollers (3) of the same section (4). In order to enable a simple arrangement, it is provided that the drivable and brakeable rollers (13) are each held on a fixed axle (15) on which a drive roller (6) is also held and which can be coupled with the drivable and breakable roller (13) by way of an electromecanical clutch (18′, 23′), which roller on its part is provided with an electromechanical braking device (18, 23).
