Patent number: 8770379Abstract: A sorting device including successive load carrying platforms having a front edge and a rear edge for supporting products to be sorted on a supporting surface, a conveying mechanism conveying the load carrying platforms in a conveying direction along a conveying path, a sorting mechanism including plural pusher elements pushing a product to be sorted sideways off at least one supporting surface at a desired sorting location. The pusher elements each extend above at least one load carrying platform and are arranged for being jointly conveyed with the at least one load carrying platform in the conveying direction. A drive mechanism moves the at least one pusher element sideways at the desired sorting location. An arcuate shape of a front edge of a load carrying platform, as seen in top plan view, abuts an arcuate shape of a rear edge of a next load carrying platform.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2009Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Vanderlande Industries B.V.Inventors: Jacobus Marie Van Den Goor, Erwin Hendrikus Petrus Martinus Johannes Van Schaijk, Martinus Johannes Maria Vertogen, Johannes Petrus Maria Vissers

Patent number: 7467704Abstract: A conveyor system includes a plurality of end-to-end conveying modules, a main frame, a control unit, and a guide unit. The conveyor system influences spacing between successive products during transport thereof in a direction of transport between a charge end and a discharge end. Each of the conveying modules includes a frame, a plurality of parallel endless conveyor belts which pass over rotatable pulleys provided at a front side and a rear side of the conveying module, and a drive unit including a motor for driving each of the parallel endless conveyor belts of the conveying module. The conveying modules are connected to the main frame. The control unit controls the drive unit of each of the conveying modules individually. The guide units guides the conveying modules that are positioned between other of the conveying modules in a horizontal direction transverse to the direction of transport.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2007Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Vanderlande Industries Nederland B.V.Inventors: Martinus Johannes Maria Vertogen, Bram Antonius Carolus Van Rijt

Patent number: 5944171Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor comprising a frame and an endless conveyor belt describing a bend, said conveyor belt near its ends being passed over reversing rollers which are journalled in the frame and which are rotatable about axes of rotation. On the outer side of the bend the endless conveyor belt is provided with a projecting collar, with which guide rollers make contact. A guide roller present under said belt and a guide roller present above said belt are connected to a supporting member, which freely rotatably supports a supporting roller for the conveyor belt. Spring means are provided, which act on the supporting member, in such a manner that the guide rollers connected to the supporting member transfer a force directed away from the inner side of the bend to the belt.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1997Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Assignee: Vanderlande Industries Nederland B.V.Inventors: Martinus Johannes Maria Vertogen, Jakobus Marie Van Den Goor

Patent number: 5839570Abstract: A conveyor provided with an endless conveyor belt making a curve, which near its ends is passed over rollers journalled in a frame, and which can be driven during operation. A collar is provided near one edge of the belt located on the outer side of the curve, which collar is engaged by guide rollers supported by the frame. A guide roller engaging a collar is capable of pivoting movement about a pivot axis, which extends at least substantially parallel to the belt part supporting the collar and which, as seen in a longitudinal direction, is located on the side of the collar remote from the side that cooperates with the guide roller. Furthermore a mechanism is provided by which the guide roller can be locked against being pivoted about the pivot axis when the guide roller is in engagement with the collar.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1995Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Vanderlande Industries Nederland B.V.Inventors: Martinus Johannes Maria Vertogen, Jacobus Marie van den Goor
