Abstract:
A device for separating individual, two-dimensional, flexible objects from the lower side of a stack of such objects and for conveying the separated objects away from the stack. The device includes a stack space with a support region, and a support member that supports the stack from below in the support region. The support member includes a support roller arrangement of a plurality of support rollers. The device further includes at least one separating member for separating the objects from the lower side of the stack in the support region. The support roller arrangement is part of a roller guidance device and is translatorily movable to and from between a support position and a release position.
Abstract:
A method for emptying the pockets of a transport device in the form of a suspension conveyor, the transport device including one or more trolleys which are movably mounted on a trolley track and on each of which a pocket hanging downwards for receiving goods is arranged, the pocket formed by at least one flexible material web that is planar when open and that is fastened at both ends to the trolley, forming a loop hanging downwards. The material web is releasably fastened by at least one end to the trolley. The method includes: advancing a closed pocket, opening the pocket by releasing the fastening of the at least one end of the material web to the trolley, emptying the goods from the opened pocket, closing the pocket by fastening the at least one end of the material web to the trolley, and transporting away the emptied and closed pocket.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1) for separating individual, two-dimensional, flexible objects (2a, 2a) from the lower side of a stack (3) of such objects (2, 2a) and for conveying the separated objects (2, 2a) away from the stack (3). The device comprises a stack space (4) with a support region (5), and support means (7a, 7b 21) which support the stack (3) from below in the support region (5), wherein the support means comprise a support roller arrangement (7a, 7b, 57a) of a plurality of support rollers (8). The device further comprises at least one separating member (19) for separating the objects (2a) from the lower side of the stack (3) in the support region (5). The support roller arrangement (7a, 7b) is part of a roller guidance device (6) and is translatorily movable to and from between a support position (SP) and a release position (FP).
