A plurality of cam members are fixed to the drive shaft in respective fixing attitudes. Each movable guide rail of a plurality of movable guide rails is configured to be moved to change a height thereof depending on a fixing attitude of corresponding one of the cam members as the actuator drivingly rotates the drive shaft.

Disclosed is an apparatus for conveying glass panels contains a conveying device including a feed conveyor and a removal conveyor, and also a region with a processing station. A lifting device for glass panels is provided upstream of the processing station and a lowering device for glass panels is provided downstream of the processing station, wherein a linear-conveying device is provided between the lifting device and the lowering device. It is thus possible for glass panels to be moved, by raising action, linear movement and lowering action, around a first component located in the region in the processing station, the second component therefore passing the first component. During the passing operation, the second component always remains in the conveying plane, which is the same as the plane of the second component.

A shuttle warehouse for storing load carriers comprises a framework and a gangway, the framework having guide rails designed to guide the movement of a distribution vehicle, designed to physically move the load carriers, in the gangway on a bearing surface of the guide rails. The guide rails are each formed by segments arranged in succession in the longitudinal direction of the guide rails, and the segments are fixed to the framework by press-fit threaded bolts resulting in the upper face of the heads of the press-fit threaded bolts being received in the segments flush with the bearing surface.

A travel organizer stand having a base, a tower pivotably attached to the base and the tower having a tower storage position in which the tower is parallel to the base and a tower use position in which the tower is perpendicular to the base, a shelf is pivotably mounted to the tower, the shelf having a shelf storage position in which the shelf is parallel to the tower and a shelf use position in which the shelf is perpendicular to the tower, and a second shelf pivotably mounted to the tower having a second shelf storage position, in which the second shelf is parallel to the tower and a second shelf use position in which the second shelf is perpendicular to the tower and on an opposite side of the tower than the shelf disposed in the shelf use position, and a third shelf pivotably mounted to the tower having a third shelf storage position in which the third shelf is parallel to the tower and a third shelf use position in which the third shelf is perpendicular to the tower and on a same side of the tower as the shelf disposed in the shelf use position.

A device for replacing a first pallet (P) supporting a load (C) with a second pallet (S) includes a flat faced slide surface element (3), a flat faced translating support element (5), a load sliding control element (7) parallel to the translating support element (5), a connecting element (9), where the load sliding control element is connected to the slide surface element (3) and/or to the connecting element (9), and a rotation member (11) connected to the connecting element (9) to allow the rotation thereof around a rotation axis (R) parallel to the flat face of the translating support element (5) between an initial condition, in which the slide surface element (3) and the translating support element (5) are respectively vertical and horizontal, and a rotated condition in which they (3, 5) are rotated by more than 90? for replacing the first pallet (P) with the second pallet (S).

A horizontal motorized dynamic system for pallet-carrier racks, which allows the formation of a motorized dynamic system as a specific, stand-alone electromechanical structure based on a horizontal conveyor track with motorized pulleys or motorized conveyor rollers controlled by electronic boards for each pallet position. The system is intended for dynamic pallet level racking on selective pallet-carrier racks in order to provide, in an extremely practical, safe and economical manner, complete optimization and excellent performance in the manufacturing, assembly and operating procedures of pallet-carrier racks. This is combined with extraordinary structural performance and high level economy of materials and space, and is based on a motorized dynamic system of high strength, safety and versatility.

The present invention relates to an end cap for a showcase roller shelf. The end cap for a showcase roller shelf according to an embodiment of the present invention, in a state where roller unit bodies including casings enclosing the outer perimeter of a roller support body are arranged in a plurality of rows, is inserted into and is supported on both ends of each casing while a plurality of rollers are rotatably supported on the roller support body so as to slide a product on the inside of a showcase and move the product to a withdrawal location. The end cap for a showcase roller shelf comprises: cap bodies which are disposed on both ends of each casing so as to face each other, and are installed on locations crossing both ends of each casing disposed in a plurality of rows; and a plurality of protruding bodies which: protrude from locations where the cap bodies face each other so as to be inserted into both ends of each casing disposed in a plurality of rows, wherein the protrusion distances thereof are adjusted so that the rollers arranged in a plurality of rows in locations where the plurality of casings are inserted are positioned at locations where rotation centers are different in each row; and protrude alternately repeatedly while the protrusion distances thereof, by which an adjacent row among a plurality of row locations is supported, are different from each other.

A flow rack assembly includes a support structure. A supply track assembly supported by the support structure extends in a longitudinal direction. The supply track assembly declines in elevation from a component supply location to a component pick location. A return track assembly is supported by the support structure that extends in the longitudinal direction. The return track assembly declines in elevation from the component pick location to a tray storage location. A transition support shelf is rotatably connected to the support structure at a pivot location. The transition support shelf is rotatable about the pivot location due to gravity between a component pick configuration that receives component trays from the supply track assembly and a tray transition configuration that delivers component trays to the return track assembly.
