Latest Patents
One of Tigner's latest patents is a cart loader and method of loading. This invention comprises a cart loading machine that provides for improved 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, having carried a fully formed pattern to the cart loading position, a wiping mechanism is extended from beneath the carrier plate to contact the bundles resting on the carrier. As the carrier moves back to its retracted position, the bundles are blocked and stripped from the carrier. The wiping mechanism is then retracted below the carrier to allow for the loading of a subsequent pattern of bundles. This innovative wiping mechanism eliminates the need for an overhanging blocking mechanism, thereby permitting a more efficient loader design and easier access to the pattern forming and bundle stripping areas.
