Transport bag and method for filling and emptying a transport bag of this type
A transport bag for the hanging transportation of goods by a transport device extending in a transport direction, the transport bag having a rear wall oriented in a transverse direction to the transport direction and a front wall oriented in a transverse direction to the transport direction, which are moveably connected to one another at an upper bag end and a lower bag end in such a way that the front wall can move relative to the rear wall between a filling position in which same is at a first distance to the rear wall, and an empty position in which same is at a second distance to the rear wall, which second distance is smaller than the first distance, and which transport bag can be connected in a hanging manner to the transport device by a connection means attached at the top on the rear wall.
Adjustable transfer mechanism for conveyors
An adjustable transfer mechanism for a power and free conveyor system includes a free track defining a conveyor path. A first power track defines a first drive path for a first drive member of the first power track to drive a trolley. The first power track is positioned to extend along the conveyor path up to a divergence point where the first power track diverges from the conveyor path. A second power track defines a second drive path for a second drive member of the second power track to drive the trolley. The second power track is positioned to extend along the conveyor path from a convergence point downstream of the divergence point so that the second drive member can pick up the trolley dropped off by the first power track. At least one of the divergence and convergence points is adjustable along the conveyor path.
Carrier for honeycomb body and method
A carrier (230) for a honeycomb body (220) and a method for manufacturing a honeycomb body(220) are provided. The carrier (230) comprises a first side support (234), a second side support (236), and a flexible sheet (240) suspended between the first (234) and second (236) side supports for supporting the honeycomb body (220). The method comprises placing a green honeycomb body (220) on the flexible sheet (240) and transporting the green honeycomb body (220).

A maintenance system is disclosed for assisting in maintaining an automated carrier system for moving objects to be processed. The maintenance system includes a plurality of automated carriers that are adapted to move on an array of discontinuous standard track sections, each said automated carrier including a carrier body that is no larger in either a length or width direction that a standard track section, and an automated maintenance carrier that is adapted to move on the array of discontinuous track sections, said automated maintenance system including a maintenance body that is larger in at least one of a length or width direction than the standard track section.
Truss with positioning system
An appliance-support system in accordance with the present disclosure includes a truss and a positioning system coupled to the truss. The positioning system is adapted to support an appliance, such as a video display, light, speaker, or other device used during stage performances or events.
ACCUMULATING CONVEYOR SYSTEM
A conveyor system comprising a plurality of conveyor elements forming a conveyor chain for conveying hanging goods, wherein the conveyor chain extends along a conveyor path. A plurality of hanging elements are movable along and mounted on a guide which extends at least in sections parallel to the conveyor path. The hanging elements comprise an engaging section configured to contact in each case one of the conveyor elements to receive a driving force from the conveyor element which is directed along the guide. The engaging section of the hanging elements is tiltable between a conveying position and an accumulating position, wherein the engaging section is straightened in the conveying position to receive the driving force, and is tilted away in the accumulating position to evade the driving force. The engaging section presses into its conveying position.

An automated carrier system is disclosed for moving objects to be processed. The automated carrier system includes a discontinuous plurality of track sections on which an automated carrier may be directed to move, and the automated carrier includes a base structure on which an object may be supported, and at least two wheels assemblies being pivotally supported on the base structure for pivoting movement from a first position to a second position to effect a change in direction of movement of the carrier.
Device for loading transport bags
An appliance for loading a suspended transport pocket from above with a transport item, in particular with a piece item, including a feed device for feeding the transport item into a transfer region of a suspended conveying device with a guide rail and with transport pockets that are movable along the guide rail. The course of the guide rail is designed such that the transport pocket is conveyed away upwards out of the transfer region in a suspended manner.
Roller testing device for a roller adapter of an overhead conveyor system
The invention relates to a roller testing device for a roller adapter of an overhead conveyor system comprising a drive unit for rotatably driving at least one carrying roller of the roller adapter, a sensor unit for capturing a measured value correlating with a state of wear of a pivot bearing of the at least one carrying roller and an evaluation unit for determining the state of wear on the basis of the measured value.
Air dryer apparatus for garments with conveying mechanism
An air dryer apparatus including a conveying mechanism is disclosed here. The air dryer apparatus comprises of a conveying mechanism adapted to receive garments for air drying. Furthermore, the air dryer apparatus comprises of a tubular structure with a channel slot formed and extending in a lower section along length thereof. The tubular structure is adapted to be mounted on a modular ceiling or a railing arrangement including rails. The air dryer apparatus also comprises one or more rotating assemblies comprising at least one pair of wheels connected via a shaft and a covering provided for the shaft. To continue, the air dryer apparatus further comprises at least one support member extending from the covering and passing through the channel slot, with at least one support member adapted to support hanging of at least one article of clothing thereon. In the air dryer apparatus at least one pair of wheels is configured to travel inside the tubular structure along the length thereof.
