METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TABULAR ELEMENTS STACKING Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B65G57/06 B65G57/24 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: tabular element (2) is fed using transport device (3) to the section of thrusting rib (7) and moved towards pallet. The front rib (6) of pallet (6) at certain moment begins to move against direction of tabular element transportation. Simultaneously, the holding rib (8) prevents the tabular element to follow this movement. The rear rib (5) of the pallet moves in direction opposite to direction of the first rib movement. Holding facility (8) moves vertically down. The tabular element passes through the pallet when it is released under gravity force action and falls into receiving position. The moving rib and the holding rib have comb-type elements engaging with each other. The device has central lubrication device adjustable on the basis of data processing. For each control process permitted time deviation is specified. Keeping to this deviation is controlled, and when permitted limits are exceeded alarm signal is generated.

EFFECT: quick, reliable and not requiring additional storage areas plate stacking is provided.
