Definitions

  • FIG. 1 ARTICLE STORING AND DISPENSING DEVICE Filed June 15, 1946 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 FIG. 1
  • the present invention relates to apparatus for automatically storing and feeding sta'cked'articles
  • Another object of this invention is todevise.
  • a further object is to simplify the tote box carrier by eliminating the upper cross member and to simply use the end frames to support the platform carrying the articles to be dispensed.
  • a dispenser of this type has great value in increasing the efiiciency of the worker in that he always finds the work at the same level without having to reach down for and lift up the work.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a dispensing device embodying the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the dispensing device with the frame of same shown in phantom and the carrier held in a depressed condition to show the operating mechanism.
  • the open end material rack consists of a base frame I, constructed of suitably joined channel irons, which .has mounted on the under portion thereof swivel casters 2 to permit the material rack to be readily pushed to different locations.
  • a .pair of vertical end frames 3 and 4 are secured, either by bolting or welding, at the lower portion thereof to the base frame I so as to form a U-shaped frame to permit a table platform traveling vertically between said end frames to support articles of various lengths extending beyond the Width or limits of the base frame.
  • the operating mechanism consists of a pair of clevis bolts 5 and 6 mounted in the end frame 4. Connected to the clevis bolts 5 and 6, by means of studs 1 and 8, are a pair of sprocket chains 9 and II]. Sprocket chains 9 and Ill travel over sprockets II and I2 which are freely mounted on a floating shaft l3, and then travel over sprockets I4 and I5 which are fixedly mounted on shaft I6. Shaft I6 is rotatably mounted in suitable bearings secured to side walls of end frame 4.
  • sprocket chains 9 and ID are connected by means of studs I1 and I8 to clevis bolts I19 and 20.
  • Clevis bolts I9 and 20 are connected to brackets 2
  • the second set of sprocket chains 24 and 25 are connected to suitable studs 26 and 21 which are mounted in end frame 4.
  • the second pair of sprocket chains 24 and 25 travel over a pair of sprockets 28 freely mounted on floating shaft I3.
  • Sprocket chains 24 and 25 travel over a pair of sprockets 29 and .30 fixedly mounted .on shaft I6. .By fixedly mounting sprockets I4, I5, 29 and 30 on shaft I6, all of the chains are interconnected for equal movement which stabilize the table platform and always maintains it in a horizontal position even though the load is not equally distributed on the platform.
  • this feature requires the use of only one spring, such as -45 to apply equal spring tension to all four chains; and that the spring, to apply spring tension equally, .does not necessarily have to be hooked to the center of the shaft l3 but can be hooked near either end thereof.
  • Sprocket chains 24 and 25 then travel over sprockets 3f, 32, 33 and 34 which are pivoted to the base frame I by means of studs 35, 36,, 31 and 38 and also over sprockets 39 and 40 pivoted to the upper portion of end frame 3 by means of similar studs.
  • the ends of the sprocket chains are connected to a pair of bolts M and 42, having a clevis head, which are mounted in brackets 43 and 44 both of which are fixedly secured to the table platform 23.
  • the dispensing device disclosed will be used to hold uniformly weighted trays and articles of the same height, it is also possible to carry trays and articles of varying height and length, as shown in Figure 1.
  • trays and articles of varying height and length sometimes a job requires work to be performed at one station on different type articles such as iron, copper and aluminum. In such an instance, trays of different heights will be used, each carrying a weight which is approximately correlated to the height of the tray.
  • hook-shaped members 50 to 54 are adjusted so that the springs 45 to 4
  • the invention above described may be varied in construction within the scope of the claim, for the particular device selected to illustrate the invention is but one of many possible embodiments of the same. The invention, therefore, is not to be restricted to the precise details of the structure shown and described.
  • An open-sided self-leveling tote rack comprising, a first upright frame, a second upright frame,
  • the upper layer of the stacked articles is always maintained at a constant height. If articles of different thickness or weight are to be stacked on the rack, the aforementioned adjustment will be made to handle the new articles.
  • a set of anchors secured to the upper side of said first named frame a rotatable shaft mounted in the upper part of said first named frame, a set of sprockets fixedly mounted on said shaft, a table adapted and arranged to travel vertically between said frames and support articles thereon of lengths which extend beyond opposite sides of said table, a first set of sprocket chains connected at one end to the side of said table adjacent said first named frame and passing over said fixedly mounted sprockets and then formin a hanging loop and having the other end connected to said first set of anchors, a secondset of anchors connected to the upper portion of said first named frame, a second set of sprockets fixedly mounted on said shaft, a third set of sprockets mounted on the base adjacent to the bottom of said first upright frame, a fourth set of sprockets mounted on said base adjacent the bottom portion of said second named frame, a fifth set of sprockets located at the upper portion of said second named frame
