Definitions

  • Conveying means are known which are adapted to convey e.g. bottles carrying liquids which are to be subjected to a heat treatment and more particularly to a pasteurizing or sterilizing treatment.
  • Such means include generally two horizontal grates or plates while:
  • either one grate or plate is stationary and the other is movable and assumes two combined respectively vertical and horizontal reciprocating movements or else, both grates or plates are movable and assume both the above-mentioned combined reciprocating movements with a phase-shifting between the two grates or plates by one half-cycle.
  • the vertical reciprocating movements of the associated plates are controlled by a jack for each plate.
  • the stress exerted by each jack is transmitted through a linkwork to several points of said plates, or else by a single doubleacting jack controls the two plates in opposite directions respectively.
  • the horizontal movement is generally controlled by a single jack through the agency of links acting on a single plate when the other plate is stationary, or else, on both plates.
  • the phase shifting between the movements of the two plates is provided by a reversed arrangement of the link systems.
  • the present invention contemplates an arrangement for conveying various articles, chiefly containers.
  • the arrangement is of the type including a stationary plate and a movable plate.
  • the movable plate is constituted by several elements interconnected by fish-plates or torsion bars and controlled each by at least four independent jacks.
  • the reciprocating horizontal movement of the plate is obtained by means of a single jack acting directly on a cross-member of the movable plate.
  • the slats forming part of the plates are secured through crimping on the comb-shaped members carrying them. Such securing is satisfactory during normal operation. However, it may occur, when a bottle conveyed by the machine is broken, that fragments cause a release of the crimped slats, so that the machine stops and must be repaired. Obviously, the repair cannot be executed frequently without this leading to a breaking of the crimping lugs and consequently to a replacement of the combshaped members.
  • the slats are provided with depending horizontal hooks and they are held in position by vertical combshaped members inside the notches of which said slats are fitted.
  • the hooks engage, at the moment of the assembly of the parts, ports provided in the lower sections of the comb-shaped members while a bar engaging the ends "ice of the slats is secured to the corresponding comb-shaped members so as to ensure the locking of the slats.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 are elevational side views of the machine, the movable plate being shown in the different positions it is to occupy during operation.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the interconnecting of the elements of the movable plate by means of torsion bars.
  • FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view illustrating the means for securing the slats of the movable plate.
  • FIG. 7 is a view, on an enlarged scale, of the means for securing the slats to a comb-shaped structure of the movable plate.
  • each element of the movable plate or grate comprises two girders 5 interconnected by crossmembers 4 (FIG. 6) to which are secured the combshaped members 3 carrying the slats 2.
  • the girders 5 rest on rollers 6 (FIG. 1) provided on the free ends of the rods of the vertical jacks 7.
  • the bodies of jacks '7 rest directly or otherwise on ground level at 8.
  • the girders 5 of one plate element are connected with those of the adjacent elements by fish-plates 9 and rest each on two jacks 7.
  • the girders 5 of the first extreme elements are provided with terminal depending sections 11.
  • a crossmember 12 is secured to the lower end of sections 11 to which is pivotally secured the body of a jack 13.
  • the free end of the rod of jack 13 is in its turn pivotally secured to the upper end of a vertical bracket 14.
  • the comb-shaped members 3 comprise vertical plates, the upper edges of which are provided with vertical notches 15 (FIG. 7) underneath each of which is formed a port 16.
  • the slats 2 are provided at their lower ends with vertical depending projections 17 terminating each with a horizontal hook 18.
  • the depending projections 17 are caused to engage the notches 15 as illustrated in FIG. 7, after which a shifting of the comb-shaped members 3 in the direction of the arrow 19 provides for the engagement of the ports 16 over the hooks 18.
  • a small bar 21 is resorted to. Bar 21 is urged into engagement with the rear ends of the hooks 18 and is secured to the lateral surface of one of the comb-shaped members 3.
  • the slats 22 (FIG. 6) of the stationary plate are carried by comb-shaped members 23 which are identical With the comb-shaped members 3. However, the notches 15 in comb-shaped members 23 are shifted by one-half pitch interval with reference to those provided in the combshaped members 3.
  • crossmembers 24 which are identical with the cross-members 4.
  • Cross-members 24 are carried in their turn by stationary girders 25.
  • the cross-members 24 extend between the cross-members 4 in a manner such that the latter cannot impinge against them.
  • a load 26 is first laid on the stationary plate illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 by a mere line 22 defining the upper edge of the slats of the stationary plate.
  • the slats 2 of the movable plate are shown in their lower positions as also are the rods of the jacks 7. Furthermore, the rod of the jack 13 being collapsed, slats 2 have receded into their extreme right hand side position illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the slats 2 are raised to alevel above that of the slats 22 and consequently said slats 2 raise the load 26 off the stationary plate.
  • the jack 13 is fed-so as to shift the movable plate in the direction of the arrow 27 (FIG. 3) the girders 5 running over the rollers 6.
  • the load 26 is thus carried along over a distance 28 (FIGS. 2 and 3) corresponding to the stroke of the piston of the jack 13.
  • the rods of the jacks 7 are then returned into their lower position so that the load 26 is returned onto the stationary plate (FIG. 4).
  • the jack 13 is then fed so as to operate in the opposite direction, the movable plate is returned into its starting position as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the load 26 has been thus shifted by length 28 over the stationary plate. It is suflicient to repeat the .cycle so :as to convey the load .26 throughout the length of the conveying means.
  • the duration of progression may be adjusted by in creasing or reducing the duration of the cycle of operations, the ratio between the durations of the vertical and of the horizontal movements remaining constant.
  • a conveyor comprising: a stationary horizontal support member including a plurality of longitudinally extending and mutually transversely displaced slats; a
  • said movable support member comprising at least two longitudinally displaced sections, means for articulately connecting said sections to permit relative vertical movement between said sections and unified horizontal movement of said sections, each of said sections including a plurality of longitudinally extending and mutually transversely dis- .placed slats, the slats .of said sections being interleaved with the slats of said stationary horizontal support member; means for vertically displacing said first section; means for vertically displacing said second section; and, means connected to one of said sections for horizontally moving said first and second sections simultaneously.
  • a conveyor comprising: a stationary horizontal-support member including a plurality of longitudinally extending and mutually transversely displaced slats; a movable horizontal support member, said movable support member comprising at least two longitudinally displaced sections, means for articulately connecting'said sections to permit relative vertical movement between said sections and unified horizontal movement of said sections, each of'said sections including a plurality of longitudinally extending and mutually transversely displaced slats, the slats of said sections being interleaved with the slats of said stationary horizontal support member; at least two jack means disposed under said first section for vertically displacing the slats of said first section with respect to the slats of said stationary horizontal support member; at least two further jack means disposed under said second section for vertically displacing the slats of said second section with respect to the slats of said stationary horizontal support member; and means connected to one of said sections for horizontally moving said first and second
  • a conveyor comprising: stationary horizontal grate means including a plurality of longitudinally extending and mutually transversely spaced slats; a movable horizontal grate means including at least first and second longitudinally displaced sections, each of said sections comprising a plurality of slats and means for supporting said slats longitudinally and transversely spaced from each other, and interleaved with the slats of said stationary horizontal grate member; means for connecting said sections for permitting relative vertical movement between said sections and unified horizontal movement of said sections; first roller means for supporting said first section; second roller means for supporting said second section; first driving means for vertically displacing said first roller mean-s; second driving means for vertically displacing said second roller means; and means connected to one of said sections for horizontally moving said first and second sections simultaneously.
