Patent number: 11267652Abstract: The temporary store has circulating continuous chains on both sides of the product conveyor section, said continuous chains running through vertical chain loops via upper and lower deflections. Product carrier gondolas with product carriers are suspended on the chains, said product carriers being used to receive incoming products and convey the products to a product outlet. Each chain runs through an inlet-side and an outlet-side vertical loop. The upper deflections of the chain loops can be moved vertically in opposite directions.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: ROTZINGER AGInventor: Kurt Philipp

Patent number: 10836588Abstract: The buffering device serves to temporarily accept products from a product flow in the event of a downstream disruption obstructing the product flow and to deliver the accepted products after the disruption has been eliminated. As conveyor it uses an endless flat top chain, which passes through several loops formed by horizontal deflections in an upper and a lower level. The deflections are arranged in an alternately fixed and horizontally displaceable manner, such that the lengths of the loops are variable.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: ROTZINGER AGInventor: Kurt Philipp
