摘要： The invention comprises a transfer unit (34) for horizontal movement of a group or layer of articles (10) between at least two adjacent modules (12, 14, 30) while substantially maintaining the relative positions of a plurality of articles (16) constituting the group or layer of articles (10). The transfer unit (34) comprises a horizontal support surface (24) for the layer of articles (10), at least one first bar (46) or push bar for horizontally moving the layer of articles (10) that contacts the rear of the group or layer of articles in the direction of transport or feed to an adjacent module (14, 30) and at least one second bar (40) or support bar contacting the front of the layer of articles (10), the movements of which are at least temporarily coupled with the push bar or first bar (20) in the direction of transfer (20), A first horizontal section of the movement of the first bar (46) or push bar, to generate the horizontal pushing movement at the level of the layer of articles (10) moving on the support surface (24) is longer than a second horizontal section of the movement of the second bar (40) or support bar to generate the horizontal supporting movement for the layer of articles (10).

摘要： This invention concerns a method for horizontal movement of groups or layers of articles (10) between adjacent conveyor modules (12, 16, 34). The groups or layers of articles (10) are moved from a vertically movable first support level (28) of a first conveyor module (16) to a vertically movable second support level (38) of a second conveyor module (34) immediately downstream of the first conveyor module (16) in the direction of transport or transfer (30) by means of at least one frame-like transfer device (22, 40), which is lowered over the layer or group of articles (10) to be transported and encompasses them on all sides, and moves in the direction of transport or transfer (30) from the first conveyor module (16) to the second conveyor module (34) during the movement of a group or layer of articles (10) At least during the transfer movement, the support layers (28, 38) of the first and second conveyor modules (16, 34) form a common transfer surface at approximately the same height or moving vertically in the same direction. This invention further concerns a suitable device for handling and/or stacking and/or palletizing groups or layers of articles (10). The device comprises a vertically movable first conveyor module (16) with a first support level (28) and a second conveyor module (34) with a second support level (38) immediately downstream of the first conveyor module (16) in the direction of transport or transfer (30), as well as at least one vertically movable frame-like transfer device (22, 40) for pushing a group or layer of articles (10) from the first conveyor module (16) to the second conveyor module (34). The transfer device encompasses the group or layer of articles (10) on all sides, whereby the support layers (28, 38) of the first and second conveyor modules (16, 34) form a common, vertically moving transfer surface at approximately the same height or moving vertically in the same direction during the transfer (30).

摘要： The invention creates a single-track or multiple-track device and a corresponding method for conveying lumpy products in such a way that the products are separated from a product stream on each of the tracks and are subsequently conveyed further spaced apart uniformly and/or in groups. For this purpose, arrangements for supplying the products as a single-row product stream are provided in each track as well as arrangements for discharging the separated products distanced from one another in a row, wherein the products are transferred from the supplying arrangements to the discharging arrangements. Arrangements for conveying the products are provided in each track in the area of the transfer from the supplying arrangements to the discharging arrangements and have driver arrangements, which are mounted so as to be pivotable in a controlled manner in the conveying direction of the products and which intervene between two successive products in the supplied product stream in such a way that said arrangements guide the products during the transfer from the supplying arrangements to the discharging arrangements in such a way that the products are separated from the product stream and are conveyed further at uniform distances from one another and/or in groups, and are discharged, in a controlled manner in each case. The multiple-track conveying device additionally comprises arrangements for controlling the conveying devices in the tracks, such that the product streams on the tracks are synchronized with one another in such a way that a product on a track, following the separation from the respective product stream, is substantially aligned with the products on individual selected other tracks or all of the other tracks, such that the products on the tracks in question are arranged side by side substantially in a row in a direction perpendicular or at an incline to the conveying direction of the products.

摘要： An automatic sorting system for automatically sorting objects comprises a control guide which branches off into a plurality of branches having different depths, moving members which have rod-like pins which are guided by the control guide and divert the objects in a transverse direction, and a pin-moving device, such as cam, for moving the pin of each moving member vertically in response to a signal generated by a detecting device. The cam has two arc portions of different radii which depress a transversely slidable rod of the moving member. The moving member follows a path determined by the control guide having a depth corresponding to a depending length of the rod of the moving member, and is guided along this control guide groove. With this system, good or defective articles are automatically diverted in a transverse direction by the moving members, so that the objects are sorted based on a their transverse positions.

摘要： Provided is an apparatus that conveys container pre-forms comprising a first circulating carrier and a plurality of engagement devices constructed and arranged on the first circulating carrier. The engagement devices circulate along a pre-set circulation path during a movement of the first circulating carrier. The circulation path has at least one portion at which the engagement devices are fed during the movement along the circulation path onto a flow of the containers. The engagement devices are shaped such that during the feed onto the flow of the containers each engagement device applies a force between two adjacent containers and forces the two containers apart from each other.

摘要： A device and a corresponding method for discharging products, particularly product containers such as bottles from a transport path by means of one or more discharge segments, wherein the or each discharge segment comprises a carriage and a discharger, and the discharger can effect discharge of the product by a deflection. The or each discharge segment includes a second carriage, each of the two carriages mounted on a guide, and the discharger and the carriages are mechanically connected to one another such that the relative distance of the carriages from one another determines the deflection of the discharger.
