Continuous conveyor equipped with hooks

The innovation relates to a hook equipped with continuous conveyor for conveying cargo hanging on "constantly INEM moving traction means, in particular of hanging on shackles textile goods.

V /

Continuous conveyors for conveying hanging piece goods are already known, in which the hooks are formed as a form part which is essentially rigidly connected to the traction means. The cargo to be transported is on. an eyelet, loop, hook or the like is hung on the hook of the traction device and pushed off the hook to the side by means of a Feetanachlag for automatic hanging. The suspension of the piece good frictionally slides on the hook portion along _t wherein additionally the unit load is lifted up due to the hook gradient. The suspension force to be used is therefore relatively large; furthermore, a movement of the piece goods to the side is always associated with suspension. This means an uncontrolled movement perpendicular to the transport direction and makes the unloading imprecise.

The task of the innovation is therefore to specify and simplify the hanging of the piece goods from the continuous conveyor.

This object is achieved by the innovation in that the hooks are designed as folding hooks and a stop surface have for a fixed stop for pivoting into the unloading position.

A particularly simple design of the hook results in a further embodiment of the innovation in that the The folding hook is articulated on a support part attached to the traction means.

The advantages obtained with the innovation exist in particular in that only the hinged hook needs to be moved to suspend the piece goods, but this is relative Heavy general cargo Essentially its position has not changed. Since the folding hook is light, it can be used with little Forces and can be folded back very quickly> so that the hanging takes place very precisely and therefore the transition point to

a downstream other means of transport or spoiling can be safely adhered to. The fixed stop required to swivel out the lap hook can therefore be small train and attach to any desired pick-up point on the continuous conveyor.

Embodiments of the innovation are shown in the drawing and are described in more detail below. It demonstrate:

Figure 1 is a side view of the hook on the continuous conveyor;

FIG. 2 shows the front view of the hook according to FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 shows the plan view of the continuous conveyor according to FIG. 1;

FIG. K shows the front view of a further embodiment of the hook;

Figure 5 shows the sectional view along line V - V in Figure i +.

Figures 1 to 3 show any continuous conveyor with a guide?., In which a traction means 3> is mounted, for example in the form of a roller chain, which is set in constant longitudinal movement by a drive wheel (not shown). The piece goods are hung on hooks k which are threaded onto the connecting pins 5 of the chain links. To support the item weight, sliding blocks 6 are used, which are on both sides on horizontal slideways of the guide 2.

The hook 4 is designed as a folding hook 7, which is around a can pivot as a joint 8 serving horizontal axis. The hinge axis is attached to a support part 9. This educates an angle in cross-section, the upper part of which is approximately right to the covering and is equipped with holes for inserting the connecting bolts 5. The other Tedl of the angle points diagonally downwards and carries about vertically below

the connecting bolt 5, the joint 8, in order to be able to support the item weight in a vertical axis. It can be seen that the folding hook if can pivot about the joint 8, but normally assumes its vertical carrying position, which is indicated in FIG. 1 with full lines. For unloading, the folding hook k is pivoted backwards into the position indicated by dash-dotted lines. A fixed stop 10, which can be attached to the guide or another fixed point, is used for this purpose. The Kiapphaken 7 hits with its stop surface 11 between the joint 8 and the hook part 12 on a slope 13 of the fixed stop 10 and slides along this while pivoting backwards until the unloading position is reached, in which the hook part 12 points obliquely downwards and the piece goods 1 Zf slips out due to the effect of gravity. Expediently, the hook part 12 lies approximately on the circumference of the circle around the joint 8. As a result, the piece goods 14 are not lifted during unloading and the compressive force for pivoting the folding hook 7 remains minimal.

Any piece of cargo can be hung on the holder 1+ , directly by means of suspension means such as eyes, loops or hooks provided on the piece of goods. The hanging can also take place by means of intermediate hanging means, for example by means of clothes hangers, if items of clothing are to be transported. In the case of the latter, in particular, there is often the requirement that the items of clothing always be kept parallel to the traction means 3. This directional stability can be achieved by extending the width of the folding hook 7.

A special gate system at the fixed stop 10 results still in that the contact surface 11 in Transportrir.htung is equipped with a developed slope 15. Appropriately such a slope 15 is provided on both sides, in order to be able to choose any of the two transport directions.

The directional stability and the unloading of the piece goods H can be specified more precisely if, according to FIG. JIf, the supporting part ■; with an extension reaching below the hook part 12 16 is provided. The folding hook 7 then rests against the rear wall of this extension 16 and the hook part 12 protrudes through an opening 17 to the front. The hung piece goods 14 or its suspension means is on the front this extension 16 at. The folding hook 7 again has rearwardly directed bevels 15, which with the extension 16 form an acute angle open in the transport direction. The wedge-shaped one drives for unloading Fixed stop 10 with a point in this open angle and presses Klapphakei. 7 and extension 16 apart. The arrangement is made so that the stop surface 11 is below the hook part 12 and the Extension 16 is supported by the fixed stop 10 in its vertical position. The general cargo is therefore through the The pivoting movement of the folding hook 7 is not influenced and, when the holding part 12 has completely disappeared into the opening 17, falls vertically and parallel to the extension 16 down and can be caught precisely by a rod arranged below in order to slide on it.

Such continuous conveyors can be used for all piece goods transports with automatic unloading, but especially for the transport of textile goods hanging on clothes hangers through a cleaning cupboard, with your after the treatment the goods are automatically removed from the continuous conveyor designed as a circular conveyor.
