A storage system for containers including a plurality of cells for reception of containers and means of transferring containers within and outside of the cells. The transfer means include shuttles for translation between the cells and ensilage trolleys which are carried by the shuttles to face a cell and which are motorized to enter and exit from the cell and transfer containers between the cell and the shuttle. The ensilage trolleys are fitted with at least one transport unit made up of a base frame with motorized wheels for running on rails for the entrance and exit movement and with loading platform arranged above the base frame and designed to support a container. Between the platform and the base frame there are fluid hoisting sets distributed longitudinally to the trolley for controlled hoisting of the platform and which also realize elastic attenuation parts.

A hanger for transportation of objects along a suspended runway includes an upper part constrained to run along a runway and a lower part which supports the load and is connected to the upper part through a raising and lowering system. Between the two parts is a stiffening structure against oscillations which comprises three stiffening members one of which has a parallelogram and is arranged on the median plane of the hanger while the other two are made with oscillating rods each of which is placed on one side of the central one. The oscillating rods are advantageously made up of pairs of triangles connected by an articulation to the vertex and hinged at the base in a direction transverse to the hanger.

A rocking station includes a frame in which there is a powered rocking board onto which are fed objects to be rocked. The board is supported on the floor supports arranged near its two opposite ends with the supports defining two parallel rotation axes of the board with each one near one of the opposite ends and transversal to the board. On each side of the board there is a chain defining two main lifting branches with each main branch being arranged between one part of the frame above the board and couplings to the board being arranged near one of the opposite ends of the board. A motor causes the chains to run on command in one or the other direction to alternately place one main branch or the other under tension and lift the corresponding board end by rotating the board around the rotation axis near the opposite end.

A transporting installation ( ) comprises at least one conveyor belt ( ) on which are mounted at intervals carriages ( ) each equipped above with a horizontal roller ( ) for support of transport members ( ) and side guide wheels ( ) running inside parallel opposing and facing C rails ( ). For support of roller and wheels the carriage has a U bracket ( ) fastened on the belt and with seats opening upward on the U arms for support of a support pin in a zone at the sides of the roller. The ends of the pin project on the two sides of the bracket ( ) to each support one of said guide wheels with there being between the wheels and the bracket spacers ( ) removable transversally to the pin to free a space for axial running of the guide wheels towards the center of the carriage. In this manner the wheels can be shifted in the direction of withdrawing them from the C guide rails upon removal of the spacers.

A skid handling system includes at least two skid conveyance lines for skid handling with a transfer arranged between them to pass skids from one to the other. The transfer includes a skid conveyor with a clearance table at each end at the transfer point from and to the two conveyance lines. The skids are accumulated directly on the conveyor between the tables.

Conveyance system with skid handling

A device for conveyance along an assembly line of components and motor vehicle components in particular mounted on sled-like supports (,) having a pair of supporting shoes (,). The device comprises a pair of powered belts (,) parallel and extending in the direction of conveyance to receive on themselves the sled supporting shoes (,) for advancement thereof along the line. Each belt (,) of the pair is wound between a drive pinion (,) and an idling pinion (,) arranged at the two ends of the device and bears on its internal face in contact with the pinions (,) grooves (,) which in movement engage with corresponding projections (,) born by the pinions. The belt (,) is supported in the section between the respective two pinions (,) by idling rollers (,) having an external profile virtually matching the belt profile on said internal face.
