Arrangement by conveyor for items, such as packaging bodies of glass, for example

Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement by a conveyor (1, 2) for items (3), such as packaging bodies of glass, for example, with a means (4) for raising the items (3) from a lying position, in which the bottom of the respective item (3) is oriented in a random direction on the conveyor (1, 2), into a standing position with its bottom turned down against the conveyor (1, 2). In order to obtain, among other things, a compact and reliable construction for the conveyor (1, 2), the raising means is in the form of the raising means (4) extending, before the item (3) enters the raising means (4), essentially in an extension of an upper portion (1) of the conveyor. Further, the raising means (4) is supported rotationally about an axis (5), which is located downstream of the center of gravity of the item (3), when the item (3) has entered the raising means (4), so that on rotation of the raising means (4), the item (3) is raised with its bottom turned downwards, facing a lower portion (2) of the conveyor.
