  • Patent number: 6923612
    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.

  • Patent number: 6824345
    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).

  • Publication number: 20040007439
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transfer system (1) for items conveyed (3) piece by piece between a first conveyor unit (4; 11) and at least one other conveyor unit (5, 6) extending transversely or at an angle thereto. The conveyed items (3) are fed on a substantially horizontal conveyor plane (21 ) of a corresponding conveyor system (2). The transfer system (1) has a brake mechanism (35) which can be raised above and lowered below the conveyor plane (21) so that it can be selectively placed in and out of friction contact with the bottom face (36) of the conveyed item (3). It also has a lifting and conveying mechanism (25), the conveyor elements (27, 28) of which can be raised and lowered below the conveyor plane (21) so that the conveyed item (3) can be picked up from the first conveyor unit (4; 11) and transferred onto one of the other conveyor units (5, 6) without jamming.
