Abstract
A method for shifting goods in which goods arranged in a predetermined manner within a container having an opening portion are taken out of the container in such a manner as to correspond to the arrangement of the storing state of the goods. The method comprising the steps of superposing a goods take-out tool including partitions which are formed in such a manner as to correspond to the arrangement of the storing state of the goods on the opening portion of the container, and inverting the superposed container and goods take-out tool. The goods in the container can be taken into the goods take-out tool without changing the arrangement of the storing state of the goods.
Claims22
A goods take-out apparatus for taking out a predetermined number of goods from a container containing a plurality of goods, said apparatus comprising:
- a goods take-out tool including partitions for separating the goods contained in the container according to the storing states thereof, the goods being provided in a plurality of rows and columns in the take-out tool;
- and
- shutter means for sequentially taking out a desired number of goods one by one by receiving the goods separated by the goods take-out tool and thereafter releasing the goods one by one.
A goods take-out apparatus comprising a plurality of goods storing portions disposed in a matrix shape, first shutter means and second shutter means for opening and closing an opening portion of the goods storing portions, the opening portion being beneath an end of the goods and the goods being sequentially removed when the portion therebelow is opened, and driving mechanisms for driving the first shutter means and the second shutter means respectively, one of said first and second shutters means being movable in a line direction and the other being movable in a row direction, movement of first and second shutter means allowing the goods to be removed one by one and one good being completely removed from the goods storing portions before a subsequent good is removed.
A goods take-out apparatus comprising a plurality of goods storing portions disposed in a matrix shape, a first shutter for opening and closing an opening portion of the goods storing portions and a second shutter mounted on the first shutter, and driving mechanism for driving the first shutter and the second shutter respectively, the first and second shutters being movable in generally a same direction, the second shutter being relatively movable with respect to the first shutter.
A goods take-out apparatus comprising a plurality of goods storing portions disposed in a matrix shape, a first shutter for opening and closing an opening portion of the goods storing portions and a second shutter mounted on the first shutter, and driving mechanisms for driving the first shutter and the second shutter respectively, the first and second shutters being generally movable in a line direction, a larger number of the second shutter than the number of the line of the goods storing portions being provided.
A goods take-out apparatus comprising a goods storing device including a plurality of goods storing portions disposed in a matrix shape, a blocking member fixedly located so as to close an opening portion of the goods storing device, a driving mechanism for driving the goods storing device along the blocking member, and shutter means integrally mounted on the blocking member for opening and closing the opening portion of the goods storing device at a position where the goods storing device is moved by the driving mechanism to thereby sequentially remove goods one by one.
A goods take-out apparatus comprising:
- a goods take-out tool including partitions for separating a plurality of goods into a predetermined number of rows and columns, the goods take-out tool receiving the plurality of goods from a container, the goods take-out tool having a movable shutter on a lower side thereof, the shutter being movable between an open and closed position, the goods being discharged from the goods take-out tool when the shutter is in the open position;
- and
- a goods drop-out device having a first side, the goods drop-out device receiving the plurality of goods through the first side thereof from the take-out tool when the shutter is moved to the open position, the goods drop-out device further comprising discharge means for releasing the goods from the goods drop-out device, the goods being released through a second side, the second side being opposed to the first side of the goods drop-out device.
