GRAVITY STORE FOR CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B65B19/00 B65G11/20 B65G63/06 

FIELD: mechanics.

SUBSTANCE: invention deals with storing and re-loading packaged cargos. Gravity store for cylindrical container includes feeder for items and tray installed under the feeder. The said tray is provided with uniform tier-structured shelves (2) being hinge-connected between each other. The said shelves can be turned vertically and provided with windows to transfer items from one shelf to another. Tilted guiding shelves are rigidly fixed at a constant angle α, which ensures stable oscillation of items when they are transported with the account of friction forces. The said tilted guiding shelves are implemented as two hinge-connected tilted corners (3) comprised of initial fixed parts (4) and finite movable parts (5) located in front of the loading windows. The above-mentioned movable parts are constricted. The initial parts of corners are provided with grouping flexible rods filled with adjustable liquid. The said rods let the item passing one by one only when the rod is pressed horizontally by no less than two items. Spring-loaded dampers are installed in the transition point of shelves.

EFFECT: solidity of structure and reduced dynamic loads.
