Abstract
A carriage to automatically load or unload an article. More specifically, a carriage comprising multiple fingers disposed in a pair of side frames and having a structure in which the respective adjacent fingers press each other, whereby an article is loaded or unloaded without needing to manually operate the fingers. The carriage comprises a pair of side frames formed to be disposed at both sides of the carriage in a direction along which an article is loaded into the carriage; and multiple fingers each comprising a bottom support part disposed at the bottom of the frames so as to support the loaded article, are rotatably pivoted on the pair of side frames, and generate rotational movement through pressing between the respective adjacent fingers.
Claims13
A carriage comprising:
- a pair of side frames formed to be disposed at both sides of the carriage which includes a receiving part where an article is to be loaded;
- a base to support the article;
- and
- multiple fingers rotatably installed at the pair of side frames and arranged along a direction where the article is to be loaded,
- wherein each of the multiple fingers comprises:
- a support part to rotate in contact with the article while the article is loaded into the carriage or unloaded out of the carriage;
- and
- a pressing part configured to press and rotate an adjacent finger as the support part rotates,
- wherein each of the multiple fingers further comprises a rotating body constituting a rotation center,
- wherein the pressing part comprises a pressing arm formed to extend from the rotating body and a stopper formed to protrude from the pressing arm and configured to limit rotation of each finger in a direction in which the article is loaded, due to interference with a side frame among the pair of side frames when the article arrives at a finally seated state.
