  • 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: 9139379
    Abstract: A carrying belt conveyor for conveying material which includes a rail system having at least one floor-based carrying rail. There is at least one transport car which may be moved in a transport direction on the carrying rail and which includes a travel mechanism having a travel unit which leads in the transport direction and a travel unit which follows in the transport direction, the travel units are connected by a frame structure and are each guided by the carrying rail. The transport car also includes a carrying device for material to be conveyed. The frame structure of the travel mechanism forms the carrying device and is in turn constructed as a conveyor device by means of which material to be conveyed is moved relative to the travel mechanism of the transport car at an angle to the transport direction.

  • Patent number: 8398031
    Abstract: A rail system for an electric pallet track has, in known manner, a main line which can be optionally connected to at least two branch lines by way of points. The points have as many movable rail portions for each rail of the main line as there are branch lines. These movable rail portions can each be pivoted about a stationary pivot axis which is located outside the longitudinal extent of the corresponding movable rail portion.
