11053085 · 2021-07-06 · ·

A lane divider system includes a guide rail and a lane divider bracket for connecting the guide rail to the loading and unloading ends of a flow bed. The guide rail can be tubular, with a proximal end of the bracket inserted into each end of the tube. Retention devices for releasably securing the distal ends of brackets to the loading and unloading ends of the flow bed can include a pin, inserted through an opening in the distal end of the bracket, beneath where the bracket is inserted through the flow bed. Preferred pins can include a handle portion for inserting and pulling the pin out of the opening in the locking structure, such as a split cotter pin, resilient projection, spring clip and the like, to resist the unintentional withdrawal of the pin from the end of the lane divider.

PRODUCTION SYSTEM WITH AN AGV FOR AUTOMATICALLY DISCHARGING CONTAINERS TO PICKING SHELVES
20200398916 · 2020-12-24 ·

Production system for series production, having a transport for transporting containers from a container storage area to picking shelves. Transport has an automated guided vehicle (AGV) on which a transport shelf is situated, and containers are automatically delivered or deliverable from transport shelf to picking shelves in a conveying direction (delivery direction). Transport shelf has a base body connected or connectable to AGV, and on which a carrier for containers to be transported is situated. Carrier is adjustably situated on base body, transversely with respect to delivery direction and parallel to an essentially horizontal plane. Carrier is adjustable relative to base body, and is designed in such a way that when an AGV is stationarily situated in front of a picking shelf, the position of the carrier relative to picking shelf is adjustable, transversely with respect to the delivery direction and parallel to essentially horizontal plane.

A roller track includes a base, parallel guides, roller support bars placed into their respective guides, and a plurality of rollers removably disposed between the roller support bars. The roller support bars preferably are removably secured to the base via the respective guides which are affixed to the base. The base also can be provided with connecting elements sidewalls thereof such that a plurality of bases of roller tracks can be connected laterally to accommodate any width of shelf or display planogram. Thus, the roller tracks can be used either separately roller tracks or as a continuous mat (i.e. a plurality of roller tracks affixed to adjacent roller tracks). Additionally, dividers can be removably affixed to each roller track via securing members comprising an upper body portion formed via a living hinge and at least one lower connector that removably connects the securing member to the roller track.

DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR DISPENSING CUTLERY AND UTENSILS
20200359809 · 2020-11-19 · ·

In a dispensing system for utensils and cutlery, a housing with a cutlery distribution area has one or more openings for exposing a handle end of a presenting utensil for removal by a user. The system has one or more stack chambers, each configured to hold a vertical stack of utensils. A trigger assembly within the housing is actuated by the user removing a single presenting utensil out of an opening, causing the release of a single lowest utensil from the vertical stack, for presentation as the next presenting utensil for removal by a next user. A chute delivers each released single lowest utensil of a vertical stack to its opening for removal by the next user, and causes the released utensil to rotate about its axis from entry into the chute to exit at the opening.
