摘要:
An intake device (1) of an automated redemption machine is disclosed for returnable containers such as bottles (6), cans and the like, said intake device comprising conveyor means (2, 3) for transporting the container in an essentially horizontal position and means (4, 5) for rotating the container for the purpose of scanning, e.g., a bar code. The invention is implemented so that the conveyor means (2, 3) have slots adapted thereto transverse to the conveyor travel direction, said slots permitting at least partially elevating and lowering the said means (5) via said slots for rotating the returned containers (6).

摘要:
An assembly is disclosed for conveying and rotating/transferring individual containers or beverage bottle cases or the like articles as well as moving or, laterally in a direction orthogonal to the travel direction of the articles, transferring the same, the assembly comprising two or more substantially cylindrical conveyor rolls (15) that are parallel to each other and aligned longitudinally in the travel direction of the articles, the conveyor rolls being adapted rotatable about their axes in order to effect the rotation of the articles or transfer thereof in the lateral direction, plus one or more conveyor belts (12) or the like means for transferring the articles in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor rolls (15), the conveyor belts (12) being adapted to pass over belt support rolls (10). The invention is implemented by way of adapting to each one of the conveyor rolls (15) at least one conveyor belt (12) running in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the roll and having the belt support rolls (10) designed into an integral structure of the conveyor roll (15) so that the support rolls will rotate with the conveyor roll and further having the conveyor belts (12) arranged to run at least substantially in the plane of the cylindrical envelope surface of each conveyor roll (15).
摘要:
An erecting device (5) is disclosed for a conveyor of different kinds of horizontally transported articles (4) such as is used in the intake device (1) of an automated redemption machine for returnable containers like bottles, cans, etc., said erecting device being located at the delivery end of the conveyor, either integral with the conveyor end or adapted as an extension thereof so as to serve for lifting the articles from an essentially horizontal position into an upright position for delivery to the next conveyor section or other processing steps. The invention is implemented by designing said erecting device (5) to comprise an essentially pawl-like element, whose gripping members (7) grasp the article (4), rotate the same into a vertical position, e.g. onto a conveyor for the next handling step, release the grip and return into their home position.
