A ski sharpening arrangement includes a portable powered grinder adapted to be manipulated by one hand of a user. The arrangement includes a motor assembly spaced from a ski having a top surface, a base, a side edge and a bottom edge coplanar with the base. The motor assembly drives an endless belt having an abrasive surface about an axis of rotation transverse to a plane of the base. The endless belt is entrained about a mounting framework extending from the motor assembly, and engaged against the side edge of the ski to provide sharpening thereof. A support structure is suspended from the mounting framework of the belt and is adapted to be manipulated by another hand of the user for guiding, stabilizing and changing the angle of the abrasive surface relative to the side edge of the ski.

A drive mechanism for a conveyor system. A pair of conveyors are located in parallel spaced relation and each conveyor includes a drive pulley with the drive pulleys being axially aligned. A transfer conveyor consisting of a plurality of parallel drive rollers is located between adjacent ends of the main conveyors. A rotatable input shaft driven by a motor is connected to a bevel gear unit which includes a pair of output shafts disposed normal to the input shaft and the output shafts are operably connected to the respective drive pulleys to drive the main conveyors. In addition, the bevel gear unit includes a second output shaft which is operably connected to one of the rollers of the transfer conveyor to drive that roller. Rotation of the driven roller is transmitted to the other rollers in the transfer conveyor by endless bands that are connected between adjacent rollers.

A magnetic transfer mechanism for transferring ferro magnetic articles from one endless belt conveyor to another. The transfer mechanism includes a magnetic pulley and the conveyor belts are disposed in side-by-side relation on the pulley. Guide rails are disposed outwardly of the pulley and arranged in a generally helical configuration and serve to guide the articles from one belt to the other belt as the belts travel over the pulley.

A drive mechanism for a conveyor. The conveyor includes a frame and a drive spindle that carries a conveyor belt is journalled for rotation on the frame. The spindle has a longitudinal passage and a pair of bushings are disposed in spaced relation in the passage, with the adjacent ends of the bushings spaced apart. Each bushing has a non-circular or hexagonal-shaped opening and a similarly contoured end of a drive shaft is inserted into the opening of one of said bushings. The inner end of the drive shaft is provided with an axial recess and a plunger is located within the recess and is biased outwardly by a spring. A locking member is mounted in a radial hole in the wall of the inner end of the drive shaft and is engaged with a cam surface on the plunger. To assemble or remove the drive shaft from the bushing an elongated tool is inserted in the opposite end of the spindle to move the plunger inwardly against the spring biasing force, thereby releasing the locking member and enabling the drive shaft to be moved relative to the spindle.
摘要:
An apparatus for stacking and storing articles and subsequently unstacking the articles. The apparatus includes a first conveyor to convey a plurality of articles, and a plurality of secondary conveyors are disposed normal to a side edge of the first conveyor. To store the articles, each article is stopped on the conveyor and is pushed laterally from the main conveyor into bearing engagement against a movable stop member on a secondary conveyor. Additional articles are pushed onto the secondary conveyor into engagement with the preceding aritlce to form a composite stack. The composite stack can be lifed from the secondary conveyor by a lifting mechanism to a storage site, and subsequently, when it is desired to release the stack from storage, the stack is lowered back onto the secondary conveyor. As the composite stack approaches the downstream end of the secondary conveyor, the individual articles are separated from the stack and fed to a third conveyor, which conveys the articles in uniformly spaced relation to working equipment.

An apparatus for stacking small articles in a side-by-side stack and feeding the stacks to a discharge conveyor. A plurality of articles, such as small video cassette containers, are conveyed in an upright end-to-end relation on a first conveyor. As each article approaches the downstream end of the conveyor, it is pushed laterally across a platform against a movable backstop to form a side-by-side stack of articles. The stack is then transferred into a movable carriage and the carriage is moved to a position over a discharge conveyor. The end of the carriage facing downstream in the direction of movement of the discharge conveyor is provided with a movable gate and after the carriage is in position over the discharge conveyor the gate is opened to release the stack for movement on the discharge conveyor.
摘要:
A stacker assembly for a conveyor system. The conveyor system includes a belt conveyor to convey a plurality of articles having a size such that the sides of the articles overhang the side edges of the conveyor. A pair of lift blocks are disposed beneath and on opposite sides of the conveyor and can be moved from an outer retracted position to an inner lifting position. In the lifting position the inner edges of the lift blocks are located beneath the overhanging sides of an article stopped on the conveyor. The lift blocks are elevated by means of a fluid cylinder to raise the article above the conveyor and into a storage rack. As the article is elevated, cams on the lift blocks engage cam surfaces on spaced support members to wedge the support members apart and enable the articles to be elevated above the support members. The support members automatically return to the supporting position to hold the article in the storage rack. The lift blocks are then moved laterally outwardly and then downwardly to their original position beneath the level of the conveyor.
摘要:
A conveying system including a pair of endless belt conveyors that are in vertically spaced relation. A series of work stations are located along the length of the conveyors and a plurality of small pallets which contain workpieces or component parts are conveyed on the upper conveyor and are individually pushed from the upper conveyor onto an inclined lateral conveyor where they are delivered to a work station. After a working operation has been performed on the workpiece, the pallets are conveyed to the lower conveyor. A plurality of finger stop assemblies are located in the conveyor system and are arranged to stop and accumulate a series of pallets. On signal, the finger stop assemblies are retracted to permit movement of the pallets on the conveyor. A pivotable conveyor section is incorporated in the system and can, when pivoted, transfer pallets from the lower conveyor to the upper conveyor. The conveyor system also includes a rotary transfer mechanism for transferring pallets from a location along the length of one conveyor to a second parallel conveyor at the same level.
