Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A plurality of carrier units, adapted to hold goods, are placed at a connecting station along the path of a conveyor means, to be connected to a movable conveyor which is arranged to be selectively engageable with the carrier units. The connecting station is placed along the path of the conveyor to receive the transport units from the conveyor, or to hold units for loading on the conveyor. It essentially includes a pair of parallel spaced horizontally arranged storage and loading conveyors which extend at an angle, typically at right angles, to the main conveyor, the storage and loading conveyors being located above the floor surface, and the units are formed with laterally projecting brackets which extend from both sides to be supported by the storage and loading conveyor. The storage and loading conveyor preferably starts at an angle to form a ramp, to engage the brackets from beneath, and is formed of a roller chain, which has projecting rollers supported on a guide rail, or of a belt supported on a support way.
