Abstract: The invention provides a sorting mechanism arranged to empty or discharge a container for carrying a load, e.g. totes in a luggage handling system. The sorting mechanism has a plurality of tilting elements T1-T11 for receiving and transporting the container in a transport direction. The tilting elements T1-T11 are arranged neighboring each other, and they are individually tiltable by controllable tilting actuators, e.g. servo motors. The tilting elements T1-T11 are controlled in response to at least one position signal such that a group of at least two tilting elements T1-T11 perform a coordinated tilting motion, when the container passes the sorting mechanism. Each tilting element T1-T11 has a length of 30-50% of the container. The tilting elements T1-T11 are stationary, and the container is driven forward by belts on each of the tilting elements T1-T11.

Abstract: The invention relates to a singulator, constituted by a converger module (2), a diverger module (10) and a selector module (17) arranged sequentially. The loose articles (5) in inlet to the converger module (2) are converged towards a first central zone (7) by two adjacent roller planes. The articles resting on the central zone (7) are advanced towards a central zone (13) of a diverger module (10) and are then transported towards the outlet station (12) thereof; conversely, the articles arranged laterally with respect to the central zone (13) of the diverger module (10) are laterally distanced by means of two corresponding roller planes having rollers with inclined axes up to striking on two respective lateral walls (42, 43) suitable for moving the articles received restingly towards the outlet station (12). A selector module (17) controlled by a control unit (22) moves the articles arriving on the three advancement lines (A, B, C) in order to bring them to the outlet station (19) of the selector module (17) in a singularised configuration and not superposed along the transversal development of the singulator.

Abstract: A rack for loading and accumulating bags comprises: a) a frame; b) a plurality of similarly sized shelves maintained in a horizontal position; c) said frame carrying similar shelves on an opposite side; d) tracks and a powered mechanism to rotate the shelves. After a first shelf positioned on a bottom portion of the first long side is loaded, it can be moved upwardly, generally concurrently rotating all of the shelves around the rack. All of the shelves can be thereby loaded from the portion position on a first long side. Lifting and carrying required to completely fill the rack is thereby minimized. Most preferably a shelf unloading mechanism is provided to push the shelf and/or bags loaded thereon off the rack; so that all of the shelves can be discharged therewith, by rotatably moving all of the shelves after each shelf has been unloaded.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided to facilitate the transfer of baggage on conveyor systems at the junction between a sort conveyor and a take-away conveyor. The transfer apparatus includes a sweeper arm that rotates across the sort conveyor to sweep a baggage article thereon toward the take-away conveyor. The sweeper arm translates linearly relative to the sort conveyor so that the baggage remains in continuous contact with the sweeper arm. The rotation of the arm is coordinated with the translation so that the baggage will be fully diverted from the sort conveyor by the time the sweeper arm reaches the end of its translation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the likelihood of an article becoming jammed in a conveyor system. The width of an article, like luggage, may be detected and the article rotated if the width is greater than a threshold value. A jammed article in the conveyance system may be detected, and repositioned by a positioner, to clear the jam. Spacing between articles in the conveyor system may also be controlled.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for transportation of goods in a loading space. The system comprises a conveyor (1) for goods which is drivable to and for in the loading space. To provide a quickly and easily fittable system for transportation of goods which is of low weight and easy to work with, the conveyor comprises a first element (3) with a goods-bearing belt and with a wall (6) disposed transversely to the driving directions of the conveyor, the goods-bearing belt being fastened to the wall via a first end portion, the wall being movable between a first extreme position (A) at or in the vicinity of an aperture to the loading space and a second extreme position at a far end of the loading space from said aperture, and a second element (4) disposed at or in the vicinity of the aperture to the loading space as a continuation of said first element of the conveyor, to which second element the goods-bearing belt is fastened via a second end portion and, during movement of said transverse wall between said extreme positions, is unwindable and windable about two elongate rollers (7, 8) supported for rotation in the vehicle at a distance from one another, so that the instantaneously uppermost strand of the goods-bearing belt wound about the rollers serves as a movable loading and unloading surface for goods between said rollers. The conveyor (1) is also configured to allow movement of the transverse wall (6) between said extreme positions and thus at the same time to unwind or wind the goods-bearing belt.

Abstract: The invention relates to automated handling of baggage objects of variable sizes, shapes and consistencies, including baggage in an airport. The invention involves measuring at least length in two directions of the objects while supported on conveyor means, turning selected objects in an angle according to a selection in response to the measured lengths in relation to a predetermined value, and transferring objects to a storage device to collect a plurality of objects, and preferably while said objects are supported on conveyor means. The selection in response to at least one predetermined value provides one basis for deciding whether to turn the objects before the objects are transferred to the storage device. This facilitates automatic transfer of baggage objects without manual intervention.
