The operation of the container according to Figs. 1 and 2 is as follows:

-The strip 12 is pulled out as an endless loop by the reading or recording unit 11 through the opening: 7 * in the bottom wall 7 from the stack 12 *, "is guided over the guide rollers 9 into the unit 11" and after processing he is thrown against the profile wall 4, which rebounds it in a suitable direction. by influencing the kinetic energy of the strip, its weight and by the action of inclined walls 5 and 6 and also in co-operation with the uppermost layer of the stack 12 ¹ .des already-laid strip bends of the strips in the previously folded zig-zag folds and rests tn borrowed, the 'stack 12 ^f low.

If only a single length of sling has been used or if only short loops are to be used, the Bottom wall ■? be firm, as in some of the following examples is described *

The solution according to FIG. 1 is particularly advantageous for eyklischen operation, eg. for program-controlled machines, e.g. machine tools, textile machines, drawing tables, etc., The reading * or registration unit pulls the registration tape 12 out through the opening, with a fairly large amount of friction not only in the opening 7 ¹ itself, but also on the surface of the boclenwaiid can occur. TTm to reduce the frictional force and thus to facilitate the pulling out of the strip. - or to avoid the tearing of this strip for this reason - rollers 13 attached to the bottom wall 7 according to FIG. 4 are used, which on the one hand cause excessive friction between the bottom wall 7 and the adjacent strips of the stack 12. ' and eliminate in the opening 1 ^t 'and on the other hand a guide for the. Secure outgoing strips in the shaft ...

educated. If the transport of the strip, for example in the case of a reading unit, takes place in "both directions, without the strip being read to its" ends during operation, closed containers II, III and II ', III ¹ ' are used, the bottom walls 7 are designed without the openings 7 '. The strip is then only removed from the stack upwards from both containers, so that only very little effort is required to remove the strip from the container. In such cases it is particularly advantageous to design the two container halves, and thus interchangeable cartridges to use a suitable form, which can be fixed to the rear wall as necessary on the left or right side of%. Of course, the rear walls 1 ″ of the cassettes must then be designed the same as the front walls, so that when each cassette is used on the other side, the front wall then forms the rear wall 3, the cassettes containing the spaces II and III are drawn;

However, if the double container according to Fig. 5, e.g. in connection with a reading device | working in a conveying direction is to be used, the bottom walls 7 with openings 7 ' to provide and the strip can in an endless loop over guide rollers 9> as shown in phantom in Fig. 3, be guided.

In the event that the amount of the stacked strip in the container shaft During operation, it varies significantly, it is necessary to take a measure that the shape of the entry space in which the strip is bent and collapsed, essentially remains unchanged. A simple arrangement for automatic Regulation of the height of the bottom wall 7 as a function of the amount of the stacked strip is in Fig. 5 in view and in Fig. 6 indicated in longitudinal section. On the bottom wall 7 is here

a cranked rod 14 is attached, which passes through a slot in the rear wall T ¹ and central guides 15 »16 gives the bottom wall 7 freedom of movement in the vertical direction. Between the guide T6 and a washer 17 fastened on the rod 14 there is a compression screw spring 18, the directional force of which is directed against the weight of the stack 12 and can be dimensioned in such a way that due to its movement due to the increase in weight of the stack in The height of the top layer of the stack remains practically unchanged. It can be seen that the rod 14 must be guided outside the shaft so as not to prevent the strip from being pulled off from under the bottom wall. A display of the filling of the shaft can also be linked to this device without great effort, as is indicated in FIG. 6 with pointer 50 and scale 31. The display can also be executed in other ways, mechanical, electrical, pneumatic.

At very high speeds, the Zigzag stripes supported by a pouring jiittel. InfFig. 7 shows how compressed air from two pressure chambers 19 and 20 flows out through openings or nozzles 21 and 22 in the sloping walls 5 and 6 and on the merging of the zigzag strip 12 acts. In this case it is advantageous to have at least one further wall of the container with openings for the escape of the To provide air, especially at very high operating speeds. The air pressure can also be used to display the amount of the strip in the container shaft, which is not the case in FIG. 7 is indicated. . .

In Fig. 8 in elevation and in Figs. 9 and 10 in side and plan views is a similar arrangement as in Fig. 1. Drawn. In this Example is the transparent front wall in a left half and right half 83 divided, both halves with fastening bolts 81 are firmly connected to the support plate 1. Between the Toe front wall 82 and the right. Front wall 83 is a slit-like opening 84 left free, which for easy entry

009833/1806 bad original

is used to place the registration strip. Another difference about the execution according to i'ig. 1 is that the outer profile wall 4 is arranged rotatably about a pin 41 so that they are between the extreme positions 43 and 44 can move. In the middle position 42 the .profile wall, the container is prepared for normal operation, i.e. this position corresponds to the position of the profile wall 4 in Mg. 1 match. In the position 44 is the supply space and entry space open to gain access to strips 12. In the Position 43 forms the profile wall - a guide surface for easy Take out with the help of the transport device of the reading or Registration unit. ■,

In the previous applications of the inventive concept, the Storage rooms or /. the shafts for the stacks of the folded zig-zaek strips are each set vertically. It is but it is quite possible to arrange the shaft at a different angle, and in practice, a sharp angle between the shaft side walls and the horizontal one has proven extremely advantageous Proven level. ,

11 shows a reading unit 11 with two simple containers for the zig-zaek strip, the shafts of which enclose a sharp angle d> with the horizontal. The containers are attached to the reading unit 11 with the aid of suspension means 10 '- for example screws and slotted holes. The storage room 3 is in this embodiment example by a rear wall 1 ', which forms part of the actual supporting wall 1, the upper side wall 2y which includes the angle X with the horizontal, the lower side wall 3 »which here exceptionally not quite parallel to the upper side wall 2 is arranged, and a fixed immovable .Bodenwand 7> which, although slightly curved, is substantially perpendicular to the upper side wall 2, limited. The front wall is not shown in this example, but can be designed to be transparent, foldable, removable or slidable. In i ' ¹ all that the left container can be reversed with the right one

should be, the front wall must of course be essentially the same as the rear wall, iebz.B. also have slotted holes for hanging the container on the screws of the reading unit. For better insertion of the stacked zigzag strip, at least one of the walls can be provided with a slot. It can be seen that here too the entry space 11 has the shape of a widening channel which is delimited at the top and bottom by the sloping walls 5 and 6. Dahier no change in direction is in the transport of the strip of the reading unit 11 in the entry area II to advantage, in this and the following embodiments of the ψ supply space can I with the profile walls 4 and 4 ^f according to Pig. 1 can be omitted.

For a longer length of the recording tape, the container is after Fig. 12 determines. This is a double container, in which the left and right halves together form a unit. In contrast to the embodiment described in FIG Here, each bottom wall with the adjacent lower side wall 3 'is designed as a movable part, softer on rollers 23 »the one inclined plane parallel to the upper side wall 2 form, is stored. Compression springs 18, which are attached directly to the bottom walls 7 are in contact with each other, create the correct position or size of the

h rats space depending on the amount of the piled zigzag strip * To be able to work here with an endless loop, which bottom walls are provided with openings 7 ¹ to 7, and guide rollers 9 are attached to the support plate 1, D4e Verbindungssohleife an infinite The strip which leads from the opening 7 * of one storage space to the opening of the second storage space is indicated by dashed lines in FIG.

The support plate 1, which at the same time the rear walls 1 »of the two Forms part of the container, is on the reading unit 11 with Aufheilendttelr. 10 attached.

The mode of operation of the arrangement according to FIG. 12 is thus given, dalj the bottom and side walls of the box whose stack

009833/1806 bathroom. original

grows in operation, due to the growing force of gravity against the direct force of the springs 18 downwards on the inclined plane formed by the rollers 23 and the bottom wall and side wall ' of the shaft, the content of which is decreasing, by the spring force moving up the incline.

In Fig. 15 in elevation and in Fig. 14 in side elevation, there is a simplified one and cheaper version of a double container shown * Here are the two pantries and entry rooms through each two twice curved side walls 5-2-71 and 6-3-72,. Which the relevant upper or lower sloping wall, side wall and half Bodenwaiid included, the support plate 1 and a divided one Forehand 82 and 83 delimited »Close to the inner edges of the divided bottom walls 71 and 72, rollers 13 are arranged. Guide rollers 9 are between the support plate 1 and the lower Front wall 83 and allow the use of an infinite, borrowed recording tape loop. For easy insertion and for visible control of the function, there are between the upper Front walls 82 and the lower front wall 83 have slots 84.

The main advantage of the embodiments of FIG, 11, 12, 13,14 is in particular, that the individual layers of the collapsed in the stack 12 the strip with their full weight not consecu-% of the press, so that the force for pulling out the zig-zag -Strip is necessary, is minimal. This protects the strip and greatly increases its service life, which is limited in the case of zigzag strips in contrast to strips with loose loops. Very high speeds of up to a few tens of meters can be achieved. Here, too, the compressed air can of course help, which on the one hand can support the passage of longer stacks if the weighing force alone would be insufficient, so that here the air against the directive force of the compression springs shifts the stack necessary! guaranteed.

00983371806

It should be emphasized that, although in the described implementation options, i a larger number of different examples were shown, all of which have a common characteristic, what a much faster operating speed with zigzag stripes allowed than was previously the pail.

• Each embodiment has its own specific application. It is therefore still within the scope of this invention to use the suspension means 10 ′ or fastening screws 10 to design with slotted holes 10 'so that on one Reading or registration unit for each of the containers described here can be exchangeably attached. Of course, the same suspension means can then also be used for others not listed here Containers, e.g. magazines for loose recording tape loops, up and Abwiekeleinrichtungen etc. serve.
