Cable-propulsion Systems Patents (Class 186/14)
  • Patent number: 11498763
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for systems and methods related to kiosks for personalizing a packaged article. The kiosks may also be used for storage, inventory management, retrieval, packaging, and/or personalization of packaged articles. The kiosks discussed herein differ from non-kiosk personalization systems, such as personalization systems installed on a factory or warehouse floor, in that the kiosks are self-contained personalization systems. In some embodiments, the kiosks are portable and can be moved between different sites or events. This portability allows the kiosks to personalize packaged articles for concerts, festivals, conventions, trade shows, and the like.

  • Patent number: 9472044
    Abstract: A coat check system is provided to replace traditional coat check services with a conveyor assembly, storage units, and a control terminal. The need for human attendants is negated, with patrons at establishments interacting with the control terminal in order to gain access to one of the storage units. A drive mechanism moves the storage units along a track of the conveyor assembly, with the storage units being moved toward an item transfer section to grant a patron access to one of the storage units. The storage unit can be open (for example a simple hangar) or enclosed, including a lateral surface, floor, drain, air vent, and door for access. Interaction with the control terminal is facilitated by a user input device and an information output device which are mounted into a housing of the control terminal. Multiple payment options and wireless connectivity are also provided for the control terminal.

  • Patent number: 4957188
    Abstract: A carrier basket is suspended between an opposing pair of drive members which define a path of travel between a processing station and a remote delivery station, the path of travel having vertical flights at each station interconnected by a horizontal flight. To prevent rocking movement of the suspended carrier basket, it is provided at its opposite ends with diametrically opposite cam rollers which are sequentially engaged in cam tracks extending along the path of travel of the carrier basket, a first cam track lying at one end of the carrier basket and extending between the processing station and a point intermediate the horizontal flight of the conveyor, the other of the cam tracks lying at the opposite end of the carrier basket and extending between the intermediate point and the delivery station.

  • Patent number: 4546857
    Abstract: An improved conveyor system for a so-called drive-in bank through which cash, deposit slip or the like are safely transferred from the customer station to the teller station and vise versa is disclosed. To assure that each of customers who reach the bank is visually recognized from the teller room a plurality of vertical hollow columns at the customer station are arranged one after another in a spaced relation in the direction of reaching of customers' cars and a plurality of vertical hollow columns at the teller station are centralized in a small area adjacent to the teller room. A plurality of horizontally extending hollow beams are fixedly mounted on the top end parts of the vertical hollow columns at both the customer and teller stations in such a manner that the former are turned by a predetermined angle relative to the latter as seen from the above.
