| 414788200 | Stacking tapered or nestable articles | 7 |
| 20090104013 | Apparatus for Orienting Stacks of Trimmed Molded Articles and Method - A thermoformed article stack guiding apparatus is provided with a frame, a guide ramp and an array of juxtaposed article guide channels. The guide ramp receives and guides individual stacks of inter-nested articles exiting a female die of a thermoforming trim press from multiple rows and multiple levels. A first set of article guide channels is inter-nested with a second set of article guide channels in an alternating array. Each of the first set and the second set is spread out laterally in a direction from an entrance end of the guide ramp to an exit end of the guide ramp to accept respective stacks of inter-nested articles from an upper row and a lower row of a trim press and transfer the stacks into a common exit row. A method is also provided. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20110076127 | PRESSWARE STACKING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING SAME - A pressware stacking assembly and method for using the same are provided. The stacking assembly may include a stacking surface for supporting a plurality of pressware products and at least one shaped wheel at least partially disposed through the stacking surface. The shaped wheel may include a body having at least three sides disposed about a perimeter thereof and at least one transition section disposed between adjoining sides, wherein each transition section is adapted to lift at least a portion of the pressware products off the stacking surface. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110200418 | STACKING DEVICE - A stacking device for assembling a slack of uniformly sized articles | 08-18-2011 |
| 20150125249 | INTEGRATED STACKING DEVICE AND CONVEYOR - The invention comprises a container stacking operation integrated into a conveyor system for transporting products such as totes or containers. In a preferred embodiment a vertical stacking operation is located proximal to a product delivery station so that the use and storage of containers or totes can be efficiently integrated into a product conveying system. | 05-07-2015 |
| 20150336753 | METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING AIRPORT BAGGAGE - In order, e.g., to improve distribution of baggage in an airport, a solution comprises positioning two or more empty totes above each other, so that the two or more empty totes are supported by a tote station by support members | 11-26-2015 |
| 414788300 | And varying orientation of tapered articles in stack | 2 |
| 20090097956 | Articulating Package Palletizing System - A package moving system has a jaw device movable between an open and a closed position. The jaw has a pair of opposite support structures that each support at least one support arm. The at least one support arm moves between a first and second position. In the first position, it receives a package. In the second, it supports the package. At least one retaining member is biased downward to engage the package when the jaws are in a closed position. The retaining element urges against an upper surface of the supported package to retain the package in the support arms. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100272553 | Method And Apparatus For Handling Shingles - A method of stacking shingles includes manufacturing a plurality of shingles having a granule covered surface and a bottom surface opposite the granule covered surface. Every other shingle is separated into first and second paths. The shingles in the second path are inverted 180 degrees. A shingle from the first path is positioned onto a shingle from the second path, such that the bottom surfaces of each shingle are engaged, thereby defining a stacked pair of shingles. | 10-28-2010 |
