Abstract: An apparatus automatically lifts a vehicle from a continuously moving first convevor such as an overhead or a side lift vehicle assembly line conveyor carrier so that the vehicle can be stabilized for assembly processes or can be unloaded from the assembly line conveyor. The apparatus generally consists of a lift shuttle conveyed along guide rails positioned below the vehicle assembly conveyor system and with a lifting mechanism extending upwardly from the lift shuttle. The lifting mechanism rises to engage, stabilize and lift the vehicle from the overhead carrier. Various elevations can be obtained with the lifts to accommodate various processes and product requirements. After traveling along the lift shuttle conveyor, the vertical lifts lower the vehicle to either place the vehicle back on the overhead conveyor carrier or place the vehicle on a second conveyor or such as a floor conveyor where it is moved to further assembly operations or moved to a staging area. The shuttle then returns to its initial position to repeat the process for the next vehicle.

Abstract: An adjustable frame for carrying vehicles between elongate upright sides includes, on each side, a forward end and a rearward end, each end including an upper and lower rail section joined by elongate brace members, where the respective ends are separated from one another and a length-adjusting insert is carried between such ends to selectively permit adjustment of the position of the forward end relative to the rearward end while maintaining the ends in end-to-end alignment. On each side of the frame, preferably at least one of the upper rail sections has an end portion defining an open-ended hollow tube extending lengthwise of that side within which an elongate arm of the length-adjusting insert is slidably moveable so that structures on the outside surfaces of the rail sections will not interfere with length adjustment. Preferably, on each side, the upper and lower rail sections of the respective ends together define longitudinally aligned upper and lower pairs of open-ended tubes in which are slidably received an upper and lower pair of arms of the length-adjusting insert, thereby permitting the insert to remain permanently in position on each side regardless of the length selected. Preferably, also, the forward and rearward ends of the frame are lockable to the arms of the insert while keeping the insert centered longitudinally with respect to each side.

Abstract: A pallet system 10 for use in a manufacturing process. The pallet system includes several pallets 14 which are adapted to receive and support a portion of a product, such as a vehicle underbody 12. The system 10 uses simplified pallets 14 having externally actuated clamping assemblies 62, 64, 66, and 68. A docking station 16 receives the pallets 14 and includes a pair of robots 24, 26 which detect the proper positioning of the underbody 12 upon the pallet 14 and externally activate the clamping assemblies 62, 64, 66, and 68 thereby securing the underbody 12 to the pallet 14. A controller 82 is communicatively connected to the robots 24, 26 and activates a conveyor assembly 20 which transports the pallet 14 to manufacturing stations 21 once the underbody 12 is properly secured to the pallet 14.

Abstract: A car type conveyor includes a guide rail 3 extending along one edge of a running path. The running path is fitted with a friction driver including a frictional wheel 32. A runner 2 is guided by and moves along the guide rail 3. The runner 2 has a frictional surface 29 formed on it for compressive contact with the frictional wheel 32. A carriage 1 includes wheels 8 and 9 and moves along the running path. The runner 2 and one of the right and left sides of the carriage 1 are connected together in such a manner that the top of the runner 2 is higher than the position at which the carriage 1 supports a body. The carriage 1 may be foldable toward the runner 2.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the transportation of vehicles, primarily cars, by a seagoing vessel. The vehicles are loaded onto cassettes that include at least one floor or story, with each floor or story including a vehicle driveway. The cassettes are loaded by driving the vehicles onto a ramp, or the like, and onto the driveway. The vehicles are positioned one behind the other until the cassette has been loaded with the desired number of vehicles. The cassette is then transported onto the vessel. The vehicles are offloaded in the reverse order so that the cassette is first transported from the vessel to the dock, and the vehicles are driven from the cassette with the aid of a ramp, or the like.
