Abstract
Manually controlled handling machine for filling or emptying cases for transporting stowed articles, including a carriage (7), displaceable between a station for supplying bottles lying head to tail and a station for loading containers, bearing a tackle-block (16), and a centering frame (17) adapted to cooperate with a plate (24) equipped with gripping suction cups (25). Carriage (7) rolls on a runway (1) which is curved in a semi-circle above the containers in order to allow the loading of one half and the other half of the containers, and an orientable guiding member (28) enables the position of the plate (24) during its rising and descending movements to be corrected.
Claims9
Machine for loading, or unloading, bottles lying head to tail, between a first station (A) reserved for the bottles and a second station (B) reserved for containers (C), said machine comprising a horizontal runway (1) passing above said first station (A) in the longitudinal median zero thereof and above said second station (B), a carriage (7) rollingly mounted on the runway (1), a tackle-block (16) attached to the carriage (7) and having a chain for carrying a plate (24) provided with suction cups (25), the runway (1), above said station (B), having a center line which is substantially in the vertical plane of the longitudinal geometrical axis of a first half, in transverse direction, of a container disposed at said second station (B), said center line being substantially tangential to the vertical plane of the longitudinal geometrical axis of the second half due to a semi-circular incurvation (4), the plate (24) having a width equal to the inner half-width and a length equal to the inner length of the containers (C).
