Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Stapelgerät für Lasten, insbesondere Matratzen, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a stacker for loads, in particular Mattresses, with the characteristics of the generic term of the Claim 1.

Verpackte Matratzen auf Stapel zu legen ist eine schwere Arbeit, die bei manueller Vornahme mit hoher Belastung des Rückens verbunden ist. Bekannt ist es, Matratzenverpackungsmaschinen mit Stapelgeräten zu kombinieren. Die Stapelgeräte übernehmen die flach liegende Matratze auf einen Hubtisch, fahren mit diesem eine Oberkante eines Stapels vertikal an und schieben dann die Matratze vom Hubtisch, so dass diese auf dem Stapel zu liegen kommt. Bei langsamen Stapelgeräten ist der Hubtisch von einem Scherenhubmechanismus angehoben. Schnellere Stapelgeräte heben den Hubtisch mit Seilen oder Ketten an. Die Stapelgeräte müssen an der Seite, an der die Matratzen gestapelt werden, für Personal zugänglich sein, um volle Paletten gegen leere zu tauschen. Problematisch ist dabei der Sicherheitsaspekt. Es muss verhindert werden, dass Personen unter den Hubtisch geraten und dort beim Abwärtsfahren des Hubtischs ge- oder zerquetscht werden können. Von Werkzeugmaschinen bekannte flexible Sicherheitsabdeckungen in Rollladen-Bauart sind teuer. Die Stapelgeräte umgebende Sicherheitsgitter mit Zugangsverriegelung behindern den Stapeltausch und sind auch aufwendig.Putting packed mattresses on a pile is a serious one Work done manually with high load of the manual Back is connected. It is known mattress packaging machines to combine with stacking devices. The stackers take the flat lying mattress on one Lift table, drive with this one top edge of a stack vertically and then push the mattress from the lift table, so that this comes to rest on the stack. At slow Stacking equipment is the lifting table of a scissor lift mechanism raised. Faster stackers lift the lift table with ropes or chains. The stackers must be on the side where the mattresses are stacked, for staff be accessible to empty full pallets To deceive. The problem is the safety aspect. It must be prevented that persons under the lifting table advised and there when driving down the lift table or can be crushed. Known from machine tools are flexible safety covers in roller shutter design expensive. The stacking devices surrounding security grid with Access lock hinder the stack exchange and are also expensive.
