Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Conveyance equipment or a holder which allows the unloading of all or a portion of the load transported, [30] Forelgn Apphcatmn Prmmy Data by means of an electric control device, and comprising Jan. 28, 1972 Italy 2107/72 a Sturdy metal frame Which is divided into a plurality of vertical compartments, the bottom of each com- [52] U.S. Cl 221/153, 221/90, 221/129 partment being closed by a door which can rotate [51] Int. CI.
  • This invention relates in general to devices for storing and releasing loads and, in particular, to a new and useful load transport carrier for carrying a plurality of vertically stacked articles which includes at least one compartment for the articles which has a door closing the bottom thereof which is hinged at one end and held by a movable holder or pawl and which includes electrically operated means for releasing the pawl to open the door for the discharge of the articles.
  • a load transport carrier for carrying a plurality of vertically stacked articles which comprises a container having one or more vertically extending compartments each of which is closed on its lower end by a pivotal door which is held in a closed position by a pawl.
  • the pawl is operated by an electrically controlled solenoid, for example, to release the door so that it may pivot downwardly to permit the movement of the articles out of the compartment by gravity.
  • the device also includes a safety control for anchoring the armature of the individual solenoids so that the pawl cannot be displaced to open the compartments and discharge the load when the device is being transported.
  • an object of the invention to provide an improved load transport carrier which comprises a container having at least one vertically extending compartment with a door closing the bottom thereof which may be released to selectively open any compartment for the discharge of the load therefrom.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a transport carrier which is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture.
  • FIG. I is a schematic transverse sectional view of a container having a plurality of load compartments constructed in accordance with the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 but with the containcr filled with the individual container members each defining a separate compartment;
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the embodiment show in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a front elevational view on a reduced scale of the. embodiment shown in either FIGS. 1 or 2.
  • the invention embodied therein comprises in each of the embodiments a container or enclosing frame 14 of a steel or a light alloy which is divided either by dividing walls as shown in FIG. 1 or by individual compartment forming elements as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 so as to form a plurality of vertically extending compartments for receiving individual loads or articles which are shown as being of spherical shape and which are arranged in individual vertical stacks in each compartment.
  • Each compartment is closed at the bottom by a door 1 which can turn about an axis 3.
  • Each door 1 is prevented from rotating by means of a pawl 4.
  • This pawl 4 in turn can rotate about its axis 5 only when the armature 6 has been attracted by the core 7 of the electromagnet when in the associated coil 8 a suitable electric current is caused to pass.
  • the rotation of a pawl 4 releases thecorresponding door 1, allowing the rotation around the axis 3, which opens the bottom of the corresponding compartment.
  • the load enclosed in said compartment is then freely unloaded by the action of gravity. Therefore, all the times the coil 8 of an electromagnet is energized there is caused the discharge of the load contained in the corresponding compartment.
  • the energization of the various coils 8, of course can be reached by means of both a hand control and an automatic control.
  • the safety device is made up of a tie wire 9 which unites all the locks 10 of all compartments.
  • the tie wire 9 is connected to the armature 11 of an electro-magnet l2 and is kept under tension through a spring 13.
  • the nose '2 of the lock 10 prevents the armature 6 from rotating around its axis 15, thus preventing in turn the rotation of the pawl 4 and thence the rotation of the door I.
  • the locks 10 as shown in FIG. 1 and 2 advantageously comprise a resilient strap or spring member 10a having a block member 106 at their outer ends which engage over the outer ends of the armatures 6 in the locked position and hold the armatures in a position at which they block the pawl 4.
  • the locks 10 are all connected to the tie wire 9 and they are released by energizing the electromagnet 12 to move the plunger 11 and the tie wire to displace the locks 10 and move the block portion 10b off the armature 6 so that it may be attracted against the force of its associate spring 6aby its associated coil 7 to release the pawl 4.
  • the equipment may be made in such a manner that the system of the doors comes to be independent of the vertical compartments in which the load is stowed.
  • the outfit may be made up of a single frame carrying the system of the doors and of a plurality of discrete containers (see FIG. 2 to FIG. 4). After the load has been placed in the various com partments, into which each container is divided, should be taken to introduce the containers themselves into the frame carrying the doors.
  • the containers of course will be constructed in such a manner that the base dimensions of their various compartments are like those of the corresponding doors and that furthermore the different vertical compartments go to position themselves exactly on the corresponding doors.
  • the containers of the embodiment shown it FIG. 4 will be made of a rugged metal or plastics frame and will be equipped with suitable safety members 16 which do not allow the load to go out of the container itself.
  • suitable safety members 16 which do not allow the load to go out of the container itself.
  • the loading of the outfit is carried out after taking care previously of putting the doors into the horizontal closing position.
  • a load transport carrier for carrying a plurality of vertically stacked articles in a plurality of separate compartments, comprising a container having a plurality of vertically extending side by side compartments, a door closing each of said compartments having one end pivoted to one side of said compartment adjacent the bottom end thereof and an opposite end, a movable pawl supporting said opposite end of said door in a position in which said door extends horizontally across the lower end of said compartment, each compartment being substantially unobstructed above said door and being of a size to contain a plurality of vertically stacked articles which rest on said door, and electrically operated solenoid means connected to said pawl for shifting said pawl to release said door to discharge the articles from said compartments including an armature for operating each pawl pivotally mounted adjacent said pawl and having one end engageable with said pawl to hold it in a position to close said door and an electromagnetic coil alongside said armature being excitable to attract said armature to release said pawl and open said door, and
