Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zum Positionieren von flachen Gegenständen, die in Behälter mit geraden Seiten transportiert werden. Zur schonenden Positionierung von flachen Gegenständen (6) unterschiedlicher Dicke und Masse, die mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in Behälter (1) mit geraden Seiten gelangen, ist erfindungsgemäß ein schwenkbarer, starrer Körper (2) vorgesehen. Ort des Schwenklagers (3), Länge und Schwenkbereich des starren Körpers (2) sind dabei so gewählt, daß bei einer Rückwärtsbewegung des Gegenstandes (6) aus dem Behälter (1) sich das Schwenklager in Bewegungsrichtung rückwärts vor dem seitlichen Berührungspunkt befindet. Dadurch wird der Gegenstand zwischen Behälterwand bzw. schon vorhandenem Gegenstand und starrem Körper (2) durch Selbsthemmung eingeklemmt.

The invention relates to an arrangement for positioning flat objects that are transported in containers with straight sides. According to the invention, a pivotable, rigid body (2) is provided for the gentle positioning of flat objects (6) of different thickness and mass, which reach containers (1) with straight sides at high speed. The location of the pivot bearing (3), length and pivot range of the rigid body (2) are chosen so that when the object (6) moves back out of the container (1), the pivot bearing is in the direction of movement backwards before the lateral contact point. As a result, the object is clamped between the container wall or already existing object and rigid body (2) by self-locking.
