Abstract
Device for receiving and for transporting an article, which device has receiving means which can be slid under the article by a sliding unit, characterized in that the receiving means are formed by rollers (10) which are arranged transversely to the direction in which they are slid under the article (1) by the sliding unit (20) and are driven in such a way that their circumferential velocity is equal in amount, but opposite in direction, to the speed at which they are slid under the article (1).
Claims19
In a device for receiving and for transporting an article having a receiving means which can be slid under the article and a sliding unit wherein the improvement comprises a receiving means having a plurality of rollers (10) arranged transversely to the direction in which they are slid under the article (1) by the sliding unit (20) driven in such a way that a rotational speed of a first roller in said plurality of rollers is equal, but opposite in direction, to the reciprocal speed at which the sliding unit is slid under the article (1) and a pivotal lever and bearing to drive and coordinate the speed of the receiving means and the sliding unit.
An apparatus for conveying flexible articles or articles covered by a flexible wrapping comprising:
- (a) a stationary frame;
- (b) a reciprocal sliding means having a receiving means with a control means for sliding under an article disposed on said stationary frame;
- (c) a receiving means having rollers arranged transversely to the direction of travel of said sliding means;
- (d) a control means for controlling the speed of at least one roller on said receiving means;
- (e) a single drive lever for driving said receiving means, said reciprocal sliding means and operating said control means to control the rotational speed of said at least one roller at a rotational speed at which equal to but opposite in direction to the reciprocal speed the reciprocal sliding means is slid under the article.
A device for conveying flexible articles or packages comprising:
- (a) a slidable assembly mounted on a fixed frame;
- (b) a receiving means having rollers disposed substantially perpendicular to said slidable assembly;
- (c) a friction lining or a geared rack for coordinating a rotational speed of said rollers on said receiving means with a reciprocal speed equal to that of said slidable assembly;
- (d) a combination mechanical links and levers connecting said slidable assembly to said receiving means and said rollers;
- and
- (e) a single drive means connected to said combination of mechanical links and levers to coordinate movement and speed of said slidable assembly with the rotational speed of said rollers on said receiving means.
