Definitions
- the buggies are [58] Field of Search 198/189, 131; 104/172 driven by an universal type drive chain having a number of projecting pins that engage in a driving relation- [56] References Cited ship blocks formed on the buggies. The construction is UNITED STATES PATENTS such that the pins are permitted to move relative to 382 043 5/1888 discourse 198/189 the blocks when buggies are articulated around the curved path of travel yet maintained in their driving relationships.
- the present invention provides a coil conveyor having a curved path of travel and including an universal drive chain, a series of individual coil carrying buggies, connecting means carried by said chain for connecting said buggies to the chain in a manner to permit relative movement between the two elements as the buggies are advanced by the chain.
- FIG. 1 is an elevational view of a portion of a conveyor incorporating the features of the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on lines 2 2 of FIG.
- FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of a portion of the drive chain shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
- FIG. 4 is an elevational view of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of the conveyor for transporting coils of rolled flat steel as produced, for example, in a steel strip; the conveyor as noted previously being in the form of a continuous loop, the upper portion of which assumes a coil supporting and transporting position; whereas, the lower portion assumes an empty or return position.
- the path of travel of the endless conveyor is caused to turn around a curve or bend, which may be as drastic as 90 or more.
- the arrow indicates the upper and coil supporting portion of the conveyor while the arrow 11 indicates the lower and return portions thereof.
- the conveyor includes a number of high saddle buggies 13 comprising two pairs of wheels 14 engageable with a pair of continuous tracks 15, these elements being best shown in FIG- 2.
- the buggies are made up of two outwardly projecting members 16 that form saddles for coils supported with their axes in a horizontal plane, the indented ends of the members'16 being formed to accommodate the curved surfaces of the coils.
- FIG. 1 also shows with respect to the lefthand situated buggy 13 that the wheels 14 of the buggies during the return or empty position of the conveyor are supported by tracks 15a which extend throughout this portion of the conveyor.
- FIG. 2 shows a portion of a horizontally arranged coil 18 carried by one of the buggies 13.
- the buggies are advanced and maintained at a preferred space relationship by their common association with a universal drive chain 20 which is caused to fol low the same path of travel as the buggies 13 by virtue of two pairs of wheels 21 supported by parallel tracks 22.
- the wheels 21 form part of an interconnecting link system, as best shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the axes of the wheels of the links 23 adjacent to the buggy 13 being provided with universal joints 25 and 26 which permit the interconnecting links 23 and 28 and 29 to be displaced angularly from the center of the joints 25 and 26 as one views FIG. 3.
- the center portion of the link 23 is provided with a projecting pin 31, the outer end of which is secured to a drive block 32 made a part of the associated buggy 13 by a pivotal bearing sleeve 33 mounted on the opposite ends of a supporting shaft.
- the drive chain 20 is driven by a sprocket 34 which engages the innermost wheels 21 of the links 23, 28 and 29; the movement of the chain 20 being transferred to the buggies by the pins and block assemblies 31 and 32, the universal joints 25 and 26 permitting relative movement between the pins and blocks, particularly in a vertical plane, yet assuring a continuance of their driving relationships.
- the links 23 as well as intermediate links 35 on their inward sides are provided with guide rollers 36, which as noted in FIG. 2, engage cooperatively arranged track 37.
- said buggies each including suspended means
- a conveyor according to claim 1 wherein said drive chain is arranged to have a loaded carrying portion and an unloaded return portion and includes means for supporting the chain so that said return portion travels below said carrying portion, and
- said means for supporting said buggies including means for supporting said buggies during the period of time the buggies are being advanced by said chain during its return portion.
- a conveyor according to claim 1 wherein for each of said pins there is provided a guide means connected to the associated links of a pin for maintaining said pin in a predetermined location relative to said path of travel, and
