Abstract
A cart includes a chassis that is configured to travel over a track from a loading point to an unloading point; a swivel base supported by the chassis, configured to rotate substantially horizontally in a clockwise direction or an anti-clockwise direction; a tillable platform for carrying an item from the loading point to the unloading point; and a tilt mechanism mounted over the swivel base and configured to tilt the tillable platform between a loading position to an unloading position.
Claims19
A cart comprising:
- a chassis that is configured to travel over a track from a loading point to an unloading point;
- a swivel base supported by the chassis, configured to rotate in a clockwise direction and an anti-clockwise direction
- a tiltable platform for carrying an item from the loading point to the unloading point;
- and
- a tilt mechanism mounted over the swivel base and configured to tilt the tiltable platform between a loading position to an unloading slanted position.
A sorting system comprising:
- a track on which at least one cart is configured to travel, the cart comprising a chassis that is configured to travel over a track from a loading point to an unloading point;
- a swivel base supported by the chassis, configured to rotate in a clockwise direction and an anti-clockwise direction;
- a tiltable platform for carrying an item from the loading point to the unloading point;
- and a tilt mechanism mounted over the swivel base and configured to tilt the tiltable platform between a loading position to an unloading slanted position, wherein the swivel base comprises at least one shaft;
- and
- at least one first guiding arm, configured to be moved between a raised position so as to allow interaction between the at least one shaft and the at least one guiding arm in order to rotate the swivel base in a first desired angle of rotation, and a lowered position, so as to avoid such interaction.
A cocking device for a cart with a tiltable platform, the device comprising
- a slanted surface over a track on which the cart is to travel and configured to cock a piston of a tilt mechanism of the tiltable platform by forcing the tiltable platform to regain a substantially horizontal position when passing the slanted surface.
