Abstract
A magazine with removable inclined frames comprising a plurality of inclined frames arranged side by side in a parking area, each frame having, at its base, a carriage-like structure which carries the inclined frame so that it is mounted on, and slideable in, a pair of rails dedicated thereto in the parking area. A transfer structure is provided to the side of the parking area and comprises a shuttle to receive one or more carriages and to convey the carriage at right angles to the plane of arrangement of the frame. A motor is provided for producing the translational motion of the carriages on the shuttle, and additional motors are provided for producing the translational motion of the shuttle parallel to the parking area of the set of frames.
Claims11
A magazine for storing and transferring panel-like products, comprising:
- a plurality of frames which are inclined and arranged side by side in a parking area, carriage structures arranged at a base of each of said frames,
- each carriage structure comprising wheels a plurality of first rails provided in the parking area, means for slideably mounting said carriage structures on said first rails, so as to allow a horizontal movement of each carriage structure parallel to a plane of arrangement of said frames, a transfer structure provided at a side of said plurality of frames, a shuttle comprised by said transfer structure a plurality of second rails which allow to receive at least one of said carriage structures and to convey said at least one of said carriage structures at right angles to the plane of arrangement of the respective frames,
- first motorized means for producing a translational motion of the frames on said shuttle,
- third rails rigidly coupled to the ground;
- second motorized means for producing a translational motion of said shuffle on said third rails which are rigidly coupled to the ground, the first rails of the parking area, the second rails and the third rails on which the shuttle moves being [-shaped or I-shaped so as to contain the wheels of the carriage structures that move therein and prevent the frames from tipping.
