Abstract: Idle cars of a baggage handling system suitable for use in busy airports are stored on sidings in a storage area. Each siding has a retractable stop arranged to arrest the leading car on the siding and a plurality of powered drive wheels on a reciprocable frame, the drive wheels cooperating with a member on the car to drive the car. The member is of lesser length than the overall length of the car and the drive wheels are spaced at intervals equal to the overall length of a car such that the drive wheels are out of engagement with the members when the car or cars are arrested by the stop. To release a car from storage the stop is withdrawn and the frame shifted to engage the drive wheels with the car members. The first drive wheel provides a higher speed than the others to open a gap between the first and the following cars such that the stop may be returned to arresting position prior to arrival of the next car at that position.

Abstract: A mechanism for unloading individual open top cars of a baggagetransporting system comprises an unloading station having a series of power-driven rollers arranged to engage and support a longitudinally extending member of the car frame about which the car pivots as the car moves through the station. The car tips as cam followers extending laterally from the car engage cam tracks mounted along the path of the car. A plurality of cam tracks may be provided to tip the car at selected discharge points and hold the car in tipped position during the remainder of its travel through the unloading station.
