| 20080230349 | Distribution and Temporary Storage System of Transport Units - The present invention describes a distribution and temporary storage system of transport units (SIDAT), especially created to handle, in production lines with great speed and flexibility requirements, product lots, materials or components of work in progress. Examples of this type of lines are the production lines of companies related to fashion (clothing and foot-wear) and production lines of special products (namely assembly), for sectors such as furniture, metal-mechanics or electronics; the system is based on a matrix of movement cells ( | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090071800 | Wheel feeder - A wheel feeder for supplying a wheel to a wheel mounting factory is disclosed. The wheel feeder includes: a vertical lifter for receiving a wheel transferred from a transferring conveyor; a vertical conveyor for receiving the wheel from the vertical lifter and transferring the wheel to a wheel mounting factory; and a wheel stopper unit mounted to the vertical lifter to supply the wheel to the vertical conveyor without damaging the wheel. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090107803 | Food transport system and method - A food transport system and method are provided for transporting a packaged food item from one floor of a restaurant, such as a cooking or preparation floor, to another floor of the restaurant, such as a serving or dining floor. The food transport system includes a conveyor that transports a food-item supporting carrier along a closed-loop pathway. The carrier includes a rack with a plurality of spaced-apart food-item support members. On an upward portion of the pathway, the carrier passes a pick-up station having a pick-up rack with a plurality of spaced-apart food-item support members, the carrier support members passing between the pick-up support members to pick up the food item. On a downward portion of the pathway, the carrier rack passes through a drop-off rack in a similar manner, thus depositing the food item on the drop-off rack. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20100044187 | CONVEYOR SYSTEM - A continuous sharp chain conveyor system is disclosed wherein a workpiece may be elevated from the sharp chain conveyor while the workpiece is transported down the sharp chain conveyor such that the workpiece may be rotated to maintain the workpiece in an optimized position. The system includes a sharp chain which engages the workpiece, a first and a second skid positionable in parallel alignment with the sharp chain to elevate and lower the workpiece relative to the sharp chain, and pairs of rotatable positioning drive rolls positionable along the sharp chain to rotate the workpiece when the workpiece is elevated. The system may also include a plurality of hold-down rolls to maintain the workpiece on the sharp chain by exerting downward pressure on the workpiece. The pairs of rotatable positioning drive rolls may cooperatively displace the workpiece laterally and/or independently angularly displace the workpiece relative to the longitudinal centreline of the sharp chain. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20110061995 | Trays and Apparatus and Method for Removing Cartons from Trays - A system includes trays of a plurality of different widths and an unloading system for unloading cartons from the trays. The trays ( | 03-17-2011 |
| 20120067697 | ROTATING SYSTEM FOR UNSTACKING, TRANSPORTING, AND FEEDING SHEETS - A rotating system to withdraw, to transport and to feed blanks having two rotating elements, a first sun shaft, a first planetary shaft and a second planetary shaft disposed coaxial among them, two first arms, a third planet shaft, one or more second arms, one or more gripper means, first transmission means able to rotate the first and the second planetary shafts, second transmission means able to rotate-oscillate the third planet shaft in an independent manner, first actuator means, second actuator means, synchronizer means. | 03-22-2012 |
| 20130213769 | PRODUCTION CELL WITH A WORKPIECE TRANSFER DEVICE, AND TRANSPORT DEVICE FOR WORKPIECES AND PART CARRIERS - The invention relates to a production cell ( | 08-22-2013 |
| 20130319819 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDIRECTING ON-EDGE ENVELOPES - The invention can be used with an automated mail tray filling apparatus for taking envelopes from a vertical stacker output of an inserter machine and placing them in mail trays. A take-away feeder is positioned over the vertical stacker table and is arranged to withdraw individual envelopes from the vertical stack in a sideways direction. The envelope is then redirected in a downward direction by ejecting the envelope into an open space. A downward tamping mechanism positioned above the open space moves downward to push on a top edge of the free-floating envelope. A downward transport positioned beneath the open space receives and transports envelopes pushed downward by the downward tamping mechanism. | 12-05-2013 |
