A lifting and conveying device includes a lifting body, a revolving conveyor element, and a linear drive. The revolving conveyor element is deflected on the lifting body to a conveyor path on which an item can be conveyed. The lifting body is engageable or engaged by the linear drive of the device for a lifting of the conveyor path.

A chain link for a curved conveyor chain, the chain link comprising a base body and a bolt, the base body having an articulation section and a fork section and a carrier means for carrying material that is to be conveyed, the bolt being elongated and designed in a circular cylindrical manner in at least one central section. In the articulation section, a bolt opening is provided through which the bolt can pass and can rotate relative to at least two axes. The fork section has an articulation recess for receiving the articulation section of an adjoining identical chain link, the fork section having two opposite bolt recesses which can receive the opposite ends of the bolt of the adjoining chain link. The articulation and fork sections of two adjoining, identical chain links are maintained at a distance by two slide sections.

A conveying device for moving a carrying plate includes a pulling mechanism in the form of a belt. To pull the carrying plate, the belt is contacted against the carrying plate via a magnetic force of at least one permanent magnet. The carrying plate is then entrained by the belt as a result of static friction or sliding friction.

Conveying device

In a stop module, in particular for automated machining and conveyor systems, a stop element for objects moving in a direction of motion in a movement plane is located on a base body, and the stop element is movable by an electrical rotary drive between a first terminal position, in which the stop element protrudes into the movement plane of the objects, and a second terminal position, in which the stop element enables a motion of objects in the movement plane. The motion of the stop element in and out of the movement plane of objects is implemented by a toggle lever device cooperating with the electrical rotary drive, which toggle lever device has at least two lever elements, connected to one another via a first pivot point, and the electrical rotary drive cooperates with the first pivot point.

A stop module has a base body, a stop element configured for objects moving in a direction of motion in a movement plane and located on the base body, a drive device for moving the stop element between a first terminal position, in which the stop element protrudes into the movement plane of the objects, and a second terminal position, in which the stop element enables a motion of objects in the movement plane, and a damping device cooperating with the stop element for damping a motion of the stop element from a first stop position into a second terminal stop position, which is offset relative to the first stop position at least approximately in the direction of motion of the objects, when an object is resting on the stop element, the damping device being configured so as to damp the motion of the stop element from the first stop position to the second terminal stop position with a rotation damper.

A connection () of two streamlined-section struts () running orthogonally to one another with an essentially rectangular base cross section () uses a connector (). The lateral surface () of one () of the streamlined-section struts has a mounting groove (), as well as an edge flange (), which projects substantially orthogonally from an edge of this lateral surface () at a predetermined distance (b). The connector () can be attached to the lateral surface () of the one streamlined-section strut having the mounting groove () and to the front side of the other streamlined-section strut (). The contour of the connector ()is accommodated substantially completely within the base cross section () of the other streamlined-section strut (). In addition, the depth of the connector () is essentially the same as the predetermined distance (b).

Connection of streamlined-section struts

A conveying device () for transporting transported goods includes at least one profile rail (), at least one transported goods support () that is supported by the at least one profile rail and is moveable along the profile rail, and a drivable conveyor unit () extending along at least one profile rail (), whereby the at least one transported goods support () has at least one engagement unit (), which is in locked-in engagement with the conveyor unit () or can be brought into locked-in engagement with the conveyor unit. The engagement unit () has an engagement element () revolving about a bearing unit (), and in addition, a coupling assembly that effects the revolving movement of the engagement element () is provided.

A deviating device for deviating a transporting means in a deviating plane was a deviating unit, two track portions of a movement path of a transporting means adjoining the deviating device and clamping the deviating plane, and mountable on the deviating unit, the track portions being mountable on a separate component of the deviating device, the components being turnable relative to one another about a turning axis which is substantially orthogonal to the deviating plane and being fixable in a predetermined angular position.
