Abstract
A device for the transport of singled objects comprising a first tube section, delimiting a loading channel from a rear aperture to a front aperture, a loading aperture for the insertion of the singled object in the loading channel, a second tube section connected to the rear aperture of the first tube section and delimiting a guide channel, a thrust generator suitable to generate in the loading channel a thrust in the transport direction, a transport support suitable to accommodate the object and arranged in the loading channel in such a way as to be launched in the transport direction along the guide channel and a rebound device positioned in the guide channel to make the transport support bounce, causing the release of the object from transport.
Claims17
Device for the transport of objects, comprising:
- A) a tubular transport guide with:
- a first tube section forming a loading channel s and a loading aperture for the insertion of the object in the loading channel,
- a second tube section forming a guide channel extending from the loading channel in a direction of transport and,
- B) a thrust generator suitable to generate a thrust in the loading channel in the direction of transport,
- C) a transport support positionable in the loading channel and movable from the loading channel along the guide channel,
- wherein the thrust of the thrust generator acts on the transport support launching it in the direction of transport along the guide channel, said transport support forming a seat that holds the object during the launch of the transport support in the transport direction,
- D) release and return means associated to the guide channel and comprising:
- release means that cause the release of the object from the seat of the transport support in a predetermined release area in the guide channel,
- return means that reverse the direction of movement of the transport support in the guide channel and return the transport support in the direction opposite to the direction of transport from the release area backwards in the loading channel,
- passage means that allow the passage of the object released from the transport support in the transport direction along the guide channel.
