Abstract: Transport system comprises a guide rail having straight and curved portions, a carriage movable along the rail, first and second roller groups on the carriage, and an auxiliary guide at each curved rail portion, corresponding to the curved portion and having an external wall. The first roller group includes an internal roller on the carriage in permanent contact with an internal guide-rail wall along both straight and curved portions and two external rollers contacting the external guide-rail wall only along the straight portions. The second roller group includes two rollers on the carriage, spaced from the guide rail, and in contact with the external wall of the auxiliary guide when the carriage moves along the curved portions. The internal guide-rail wall has, at each curve, an arched surface facing towards the internal roller of the first roller group.

Abstract: A device for an overhead conveyor system of the type where a plurality of carriages (7) by contracting a rotating drive shaft (5) are propellable along a rail (2). The device comprises an operating arm (28) arranged in connection with a first carriage (7b) and adapted to actuate, by turning about an axis of rotation (26), a power transmission element (24) to disconnect the carriage from contact with the drive shaft, and an angled supporting surface (20) arranged in connection with a second carriage (7a). One end of the operating arm (28) is further adapted, when said carriages (7a, 7b) are moved towards each other, to contact said angled supporting surface (20) and be moved along the same, so that the operating arm (28) thus performs a turning motion and disconnects said first carriage (7b). According to the invention, the drive of the carriage will thus be interrupted as soon as its operating arm is contacted with the supporting surface of an anteriorly situated carriage. In this manner, carriages can be buffered.

Abstract: A conveyor is powered by a rotating, generally horizontal drive tube or shaft engaged by angularly disposed trolley wheels, in which trolleys support the conveyed products or materials above the drive tube and clear of any parts of the conveyor structure that would interfere with the desired path of travel. Each of the trolleys is provided with load wheels which ride on load rails above the drive tube and associated drive wheels, thereby providing a structure upon which a platform or other support may be mounted for bearing the transported products.

Abstract: Overhead conveying system trolleys supported by canted driven rollers engage on and form spiral loci of engagement with a rotated drive shaft in a powered section, and each has a top wheel used to lift the driven rollers off of the drive shaft as the trolley enters a gravity rail section where the wheel is supported on a rail and where a step feeder releases trolleys one at a time from or along the gravity rail section. A pivoted step feeder arm in a receiving and holding position receives the wheel of the lead trolley, which actuates a release limit switch, to cause the arm to rotate and release the trolley. In this release position, the retention abutment mounted on the accumulation side of the arm, prevents any following trolley from actuating the release limit switch. The arm remains in the release position until a second limit switch is actuated by the released trolley moving away, to cause the arm to rotate to the receiving and holding position to receive the next lead trolley. The retention abutment has a cam that will engage and force back the following trolley while the arm rotates into the release position and thereby keep the following trolley from swinging and actuating the release limit switch while the gravity line is exposed to significant back pressure from accumulated trolleys.

Abstract: A movable workbench 6 has a work board 7, second casters 8 attached on one side of the back of the work board, and first casters 9 attached on the other side thereof. The first casters 9 can rotate freely around an axis of rotation 91 perpendicular to the back of the work board 71, and have rollers 92 and 93 which can rotate freely around axes of rotation 92a and 93a respectively which are inclined symmetrically with respect to the axis 91. The rollers 92 and 93 also have plates to prevent running off 94 and 95 respectively. Because the pair of rollers 92 and 93 are put on a cylindrical rail 35 and roll along the rail, the movable workbench 6 can be moved along the rail by manpower. Since each of the casters can rotate freely, the casters can be moved along an arc-like line. In addition, the plates 94 and 95 prevent the workbench 6 from running off the rail even if the workbench is inclined. Accordingly, the movable workbench has a simple construction and can be manufactured inexpensively, and makes it possible to construct an assembly line device in which an assembly line can be extended or changed easily.

Abstract: A lightweight car-on-track system having a pair of spaced-apart rails and an associated rotatable drive tube with a captive carrier movable along the rails and having a drive wheel in driving engagement with the rotatable drive tube. The drive wheel is spring-loaded against the rotatable drive tube and the capture of the carrier to the rails results in a controlled drive force achieved regardless of the weight of the carrier or of a load supported thereon. The system is made up of a selected number of modular units, each having adjustably mounted frame members supporting opposite ends of a rail section and a drive tube section. Adjustable mounting of frame members to an alignment plate assures alignment between rail and drive tube sections when assembling the system. A transfer device is utilized for transferring a carrier from the end of one track section to the spaced-apart end of another track section with the transfer device being oscillatable about a pivot axis. A drive tube for each track section has a generally frusto-conical end extending beyond an end thereof which coact with the drive wheel of a carrier to impart motion of a carrier onto and off the transfer device.

Abstract: A carrier system having a carrier movable along a path as defined by a trackway and driven from a rotatable drive tube by means of one or more drive wheels which can be adjustably angularly related relative to the drive tube for determining the direction and speed of carrier travel. The carrier has a multi-function accumulation rod operable in both accumulation of carriers as well as at a stop station along the path of travel. The accumulation rod is movable to control the angular position of the drive wheel to achieve stopping of the carrier at the stop station as well as to cause accumulation of one carrier behind another. The accumulation rod is operable in either direction of travel of the carrier to affect accumulation. Reverser structure operable at the end of the path of travel of the carrier causes a shift in the orientation of the drive wheel and the accumulation rod whereby the carrier will travel in an opposite direction and with the accumulation rod functioning in an accumulation mode in the reverse direction of travel.

Abstract: A conveying system for moving an object along a straight path on a pallet is disclosed. The conveying system includes a track on which the pallet is mounted for movement and a cylindrical drive shaft having a longitudinal axis parallel to the line of movement of the pallet disposed below the track. A drive roller support base is pivotally mounted on the pallet. The drive roller is rotatably mounted on a shaft extending from the support base at an acute angle with respect to the axis of the drive shaft. The drive roller tangentially contacts the drive shaft. Rotation of the drive shaft causes rotation of the drive roller and, depending upon the position of the drive roller in relation to the surface of the driveshaft, the pallet is driven forward, rearward, or remains stationary. The drive roller is resiliently urged into contact with the drive shaft and is pivotally mounted on the pallet so as to be easily movable between a forward drive position, a rearward drive position, and a stationary position. A resilient bias to urge the drive roller to the forward position is also provided together with a cam mechanism which moves the drive roller to the stationary position where desired.
