  • Publication number: 20210347575
    Abstract: A transport carriage for transporting objects comprises a chassis which defines a main axis of the transport carriage and is configured to run on a rail system having a first rail and a second rail parallel thereto, and has a first chassis unit for the first rail and a second chassis unit for the second rail and a transport structure for at least one object, the transport structure defining a transport plane. The first chassis unit is coupled to the transport structure in a rotationally fixed manner such that the first chassis unit cannot be tilted relative to the transport plane in the direction of the main axis. The second chassis unit is coupled to the transport structure in a rotatable manner such that the second chassis unit can be tilted relative to the transport plane in the direction of the main axis about a tilt axis.

  • Patent number: 10179978
    Abstract: Rail system for an electrical pallet conveyor system, having a switch point which is arranged between a main track and a plurality of secondary tracks and which includes a plurality of moving rail sections. Depending on their position, the rail sections are able to connect the main track to the secondary tracks. The moving rail sections which are associated with one rail of the main track are in this case mounted on a first moving slide, and the moving rail sections which are associated with the second rail of the main track are mounted on a second moving slide which can move independently of the first slide. A dedicated drive which can be separately actuated by a control device is associated with each slide.
