The present invention relates to a plant for the automated mounting of a door or similar closure component within the relative opening formed in a body, particularly an automotive vehicle body, comprising in combination: a device (10) for stably supporting a body (11), a conveyor device (33) adapted to convey a door (14) to an approach position to the relative door opening (15) in the body (11), provision being made between the said device (10, 33) for a first movable apparatus (12) for reading the measurements of the opening (15) and a second movable apparatus (13) for removing the door (14) from the conveyor (33) and positioning it within the door opening (15). The apparatus (12, 13) are also operatively interconnected through the intermediary of a computer (31) adapted to accept signals from the apparatus (12), to process them and send them to the apparatus (13). Provision is made, lastly, for actuating means (16) adapted to selectively move the apparatus (12) between an inoperative position and a operative proximal to the door opening (15) and the apparatus (13) between two operative positions proximal respectively to the conveyor (33) and the door opening (15).

Plant for automated mounting of a door or similar closure component

A trolley for the overhead transportation of loads on a monorail consisting of a framework comprising: a pair of sides (11) which are rigidly interconnected in their upper portion by a pair of respectively front and rear flanges (12) and, in their lower portion, by a bracket (13) carrying a bar (19) for suspending a load. There is pivoted between the flanges (12) through the intermediary of a pivot (15) a wheel (16) serving to translate the trolley on a monorail (18). It is also possible to pivot guide wheels (20) cooperating with the monorail (18) so as to achieve a stable guidance of the trolley on it.

Trolley for the overhead transportation of loads on monorail

An apparatus for the overhead transportation of loads on a monorail, comprising in combination: a tractive trolley (1) connected in an articulated manner to at least one idle truck (11) consisting of a girder (23) carrying a load, the girder being restrained to bars (24) extending downwards from terminal trolleys (25, 26) to which the bars are pivoted.
