  • Patent number: 11724892
    Abstract: A turnout for use with two transport sections includes a turnout arm rotatably supported with respect to a first axis of rotation, guided linearly movably in the direction of the first axis, and movable between two end positions. The turnout arm has a deflection surface configured such that, when the turnout arm is in a first end position, a transported item can be transferred between the first and second transport sections via the deflection surface, and the turnout arm is located beneath the transport level in a second end position such that the transported item is movable along the first transport section beyond the turnout. The turnout arm is connected for driving, via a transmission, to a single electric motor such that it is movable back and forth between the first and second end positions solely by being driven by the electric motor in two degrees of freedom.

  • Patent number: 10669100
    Abstract: A lifting and conveying device includes a lifting body, a revolving conveyor element, and a linear drive. The revolving conveyor element is deflected on the lifting body to a conveyor path on which an item can be conveyed. The lifting body is engageable or engaged by the linear drive of the device for a lifting of the conveyor path.
