Limiting bar for items grouped on a support surface

Abstract

The invention discloses a limiting bar (28) for items grouped on a support surface. Three sides of the support surface (15) are limited by relatively movable sliding plates. The support surface (15) has a sliding point leading to a handling device capable of moving vertically and horizontally at a fourth side, wherein, the limiting bar (28)is pivotable between two end positions around a pivot axis (30), which is provided parallel to the support surface (15) and below the support surface (15). In addition, The limiting bar (28) forms a stop bar (24) in the first end positions, where the stop bar lies opposite to the first sliding plate moving in a direction of the sliding point. According to the invention, when the article is pushed in the direction to the handling device or a shutter type clamper, thus the transference of the items grouped on the support surface with no interference and collision is performed between the movable handling device and the support surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a delimiting strip for grouping objects on a support surface having the features of independent claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Before the articles are received by means of a height-adjustable louvered gripper (Jalousiengreifer) or gripper head that can be swiveled laterally on a cantilever and placed on a multi-level pallet stack, the articles, When grouping bundles such as beverage cans and bottles, these objects can be grouped into bundle layers on a support surface and moved relative to each other. The admission of grouped articles or bundles takes place by pushing the layers sideways into the louvered gripper head, which for this purpose must be placed exactly at the level of the supporting surface and in relation to The bearing surfaces are placed at the smallest possible distance. [0003] At the typical stacking heights of the grouped article layers, the receiving position is usually reached from below by a sh...

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, the edge section 22 cannot be shortened any further, because otherwise positioning the louvered gripper head 10 at the same height as the support table 16 would result in an adjustable support of the gripper head 10 . Gaps occur between the roller slats on the cage 18 and serve as support surfaces and the support table 16 , which can cause interference during the lateral push movement of the objects into the shuttered gripper head 10 , for example jamming of individual objects
