A transport pocket for the suspended transport of a transport item along a conveying direction via a suspended conveying device includes a pocket rear wall and a pouch wall that, together with the pocket rear wall, form a receiving compartment for the transport item. The receiving compartment forms a receiving opening for the transport item and is designed to assume an open position and a space-saving compact position. A fastener connects the transport pocket to a conveying member of the suspended conveying device. A cam element, which can interact with an activation device of the suspended conveying device, which is designed as a cam guide, and via which cam guide the receiving compartment can be moved into the open position or be held in this. The at least one cam element is arranged on the pouch wall of the transport pocket.

Embodiments herein describe a decline station for moving items between two structures at different heights. In one embodiment, the decline station includes a receiving ramp which receives an item from the first, upper structure. The receiving ramp is aligned with a pivot ramp so that items can be transferred from the receiving ramp onto the pivot ramp. The pivot ramp includes at least two positions: a receiving position where the pivot ramp is coplanar with the receiving ramp and a discharge position where the pivot ramp is aligned with another, lower ramp in the statione.g., another pivot ramp or a discharge ramp. The item is transferred between ramps until it is eventually discharged onto a second, lower structure.

The present invention relates to a hanging bag frame comprising: first and second side wall frames each having an upper and a lower frame part, a hinge mechanism having two pivot bearings, pivot bearing components, which pivotally support at least one of the two lower frame parts, a locking mechanism with at least one locking element, and a spreading mechanism adapted, during or after an adjustment of the at least one locking element from the locked position to the release position, with at least one locking element being provided or supported on one of the pivot bearings.

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.

The present invention relates to a roller assembly for a trolley conveyor that moves along a rail track including a flange and a web. The roller assembly for a trolley conveyor includes a pair of brackets that is placed respectively on both sides of the rail track, that has the shape of cranks corresponding to each other and that includes a mounting hole for installing a below-described shaft, a roller that is rotatably coupled to the upper end of the bracket so as to be mounted on the web and slide, and a shaft that penetrates the roller, that is coupled to the roller and that is inserted into and fixed to the mounting hole. The roller assembly with the configuration may have a simple structure, may be easily assembled and disassembled and may ensure durability.

A conveyed goods container for an overhead conveying device for transporting conveyed goods includes front and rear walls, a bottom abutting on the front and rear walls, and a storage space between the front and rear walls and the bottom, in which the conveyed good is transportable. The bottom forms a first longitudinal edge, which adjoins the front wall, a second longitudinal edge, which adjoins the rear wall, spaced from the first longitudinal edge, a first end edge extending between the first and second longitudinal edges, and a second end edge extending between the first and second longitudinal edges. The conveyed goods container includes a loading and/or unloading opening delimited by the front wall and rear wall and abutting on the first end edge and a side wall stop abutting on the second end edge, against which the conveyed goods can be applied in a transport position.

A bin exchange system is disclosed that includes a plurality of automated carriers, each of which is adapted to be remotely movable on an array of track sections, at least one input station by which bins may be introduced to the array of track sections, at least one processing station in communication with the array of track sections wherein objects may be moved between bins, and at least one output station by which bins may be removed from the array of track sections.

A sorting clip for a garment conveyor attaches to a drive chain below which is a hanger support on which a group of garment hangers is suspended from a frontmost to a rearmost hanger. The clip has an upper portion fixed to the drive chain and a lower portion attached to the upper portion by a pivotable connected biased in a first direction of increasing angular separation between the two portions. An underside of the lower portion has disassociation teeth and a capture hook that contact the frontmost hanger to successively engage and separate the frontmost hanger from the other hangers, after which disengagement of the teeth from the frontmost hanger allows for sufficient pivoting of the lower portion in said first direction that the hook engages and captures the frontmost hanger.

A conveying unit (10) for the suspended transport of transport elements (40) in a conveyor system, in particular a rail-guided (86) conveyor system or a conveyor-chain system, includes a support hook (21) attached to a conveying element (20), in particular a carriage or a conveyor-chain link, a transport element (40), and a suspension hook (41) attached to the transport element, wherein the suspension hook is mounted in a suspended manner in the support hook. The support hook is configured such that the suspension hook can take up two stable positions (61, 62) in the support hook. The suspension hook (41) in a first stable position (61) has been turned through an angle with respect to the suspension hook in a second stable position (62).

The invention relates to an overhead conveyor with transport pouches for conveyed goods, wherein the transport pouches are rotatable relative to the carrier, wherein the overhead conveyor furthermore has a loading station with a guide rail arranged below the running profile. The transport pouches, before reaching the guide rail, assume a second orientation rotated with respect to the first orientation. The guide rail has a guide edge which, when the transport pouch reaches the guide rail, is brought into contact with the region of the holding bracket located between the bag and a carrying hook. The guide edge has a first section which crosses the conveying plane, so that the transport pouch, when passing the first section, is moved away from the conveying plane relative to the carrier, wherein the guide edge serves as a support via which the loading opening, when passing the first section, is levered open such that the bag is clamped and the transport pouch can be loaded. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding method.
