Publication number: 20230227275Abstract: A transport container for a sorting device includes a support frame, a flap pivotally arranged on the frame, and an adjusting device which is coupled to the flap, to move the flap between a transport position for transporting an object and a dropping position for dropping the object. The adjusting device has a lever coupled to the flap. In order to be able to open and close the transport container reliably and to prevent the opened flap from swinging afterward, as well as to ensure as synchronous a movement of the flaps as possible in the case of several flaps, a cam plate rotatably mounted on the frame and having at least one guide surface is provided, on which the lever is guided during movement of the flap from the transport position into the dropping position and/or during an entire return movement from the dropping position into the transport position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Applicant: BÖWE SYSTEC GmbHInventors: Stephan HAUKE, Josef BATZER, Ronald CELESTE

Patent number: 9394122Abstract: A feeder for flat objects, particularly a supplement feeder for supplements, having a stack compartment for receiving objects in the form of a stack and a takeoff device for taking individual objects off the stack along a takeoff direction, wherein the takeoff device includes a conveying element and a gate, through which the objects taken off the stack are led individually by the conveying element. In order to be able to process different objects with properties differing from one another, particularly objects of different type and thickness, with the feeder in continuous operation without problems and without congestion and to provide a feeder for different objects that is as flexible as possible and that is capable of processing both thick and thin objects without lasting deformations while largely avoiding takeoff errors, the gate has a first gate device and a second gate device.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2014Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: BÖWE SYSTEC GMBHInventors: Bernd Höpner, Ronald Celeste, Florian Hölzle, Harald Schempp, Bernd Michel, Stephan Hauke

Patent number: 9315336Abstract: An apparatus for transporting goods includes a deformable transport unit, a unit for supplying a goods item to the deformable transport unit and a unit for impressing the goods item into the deformable transport unit so that a top of the goods item facing away from the transport unit has a predetermined height position d with respect to the unit for impressing. The deformable transport unit is implemented such that the predetermined height position of the goods item outside the effective area of the unit for impressing the goods item is at least temporarily maintained. The unit for impressing the goods item include an element arranged at a distance to the deformable transport unit and a goods item for impressing into the deformable transport unit is moved past the element.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: BOEWE SYSTEC GmbHInventors: Heiner Kudrus, Bernd Hoepner, Joachim Koschier, Reinhard Seiler, Ronald Celeste

Patent number: 9296577Abstract: A supplement feeder for flat objects, comprising a receiving device with a stack compartment for receiving objects in the form of a stack, and a takeoff device for taking off individual objects from the stack, wherein the stack compartment has a front contact region against which the front edge of the stack rests, and equipped with guiding elements for guiding and shaping the stack, comprising a stack shoe that is arranged at the rear edge of the stack in order to guide the stack in the direction of the front contact region. According to the disclosure, this supplement feeder is equipped with a takeoff device for taking off individual objects from the object stack, and at least one component of the guiding elements, and in particular the stack shoe, is coupled to a knocking unit that transmits a discrete knock impact onto the respective component of the guiding element. Thereby malfunctions in the form of missed takeoffs or multiple takeoffs when taking off objects can be largely avoided.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: BÖWE SYSTEC GMBHInventors: Bernd Höpner, Ronald Celeste, Florian Hölzle

Patent number: 7886797Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for automatically closing envelopes. The apparatus contains a transport means for moving the envelopes in a transport direction, and a means for automatically folding back and closing an envelope flap. To enable accurate and reliable closing even of tightly filled envelopes even in a continuous operation duty, the means for automatically folding back and closing the envelope flap comprises several rotors which are rotatable in the transport direction of the envelopes and are movable, by means of a drive, in a manner which is transverse to the transport direction of the envelopes.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2006Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Boewe Systec AGInventors: Josef Batzer, Ronald Celeste
