Latest Patents
One of Sickman's latest inventions is a cart loader and method of loading. This invention comprises a cart loading machine designed to improve operating efficiencies. It includes a cart loading station, an infeed conveyor, a pattern forming area, a carrier sheet and wiping mechanism, and a fork loading apparatus. The cart loading station features a framework that defines both a cart loading position and a cart waiting position. When the carrier is in its extended position, it carries a fully formed pattern to the cart loading position. A wiping mechanism is then extended from beneath the carrier plate to contact the bundles sitting on the carrier. As the carrier moves back to its retracted position, the bundles are blocked and stripped from the carrier. This innovative wiping mechanism eliminates the need for an overhanging blocking mechanism, allowing for a more efficient loader design and easier access to the pattern forming and bundle stripping areas.
