The present lnvention provides for a devi.ce for sr-~lect:ing and snrtirlg objects, of ti~e type cnnsisting of a serles of con~eylrlg p~anes, pull.ed along a f`:lxed path, able to unload the objects carried at. predetermilled unloading statlons.
Each of these planes consists of a sma:Ll rotaly be.Lt conveyer powered by an electric motor, preferably D.C. A specia.l characteristic oF the dev.ice according to the invelltioll is the possibility each small bel.t has of beirlg controlled independently of all the others, and in a different manner, so that sliding motion can be cornmanded in one or the other dirertion, and at different speeds, as unlc)ading requires.
Anothrr charactr?ristic of the device accordiny to tne inven-tion is that it can rnove along twisting paths, even including curves in the ilorizontal plane or rising or loweriny sections Directing devices that are part of existing technology are well known, such as those used in large post offices to sort mail,or in mail order cornpanies, or wherever ~here is a need to select and di.stribute a large number of products which can differe in bulk and weight, channeling them towards clearly defined and distinct co:llecti.on points.
Some of these appliances consist of continuous belt conveyers with deviators or similar devices placed along thelrl, corltrol-led by electronnechanical devices which perform unloading of the objects carried, for example towards other helt convey(?rs Other devices consist of a series of platf`orms carrled ~along a fixed path which interact with opportulle devicrs whlch cause them to tilt and perform the unloadin(~ operclti(lrl as ~41S34Z

In the case, for exarrlplr-n, of a sorting systrril sr?rvir)g a nurnter of machine tools, this li.mitatior) :is esprcially xtrong In fact each machine tool is fed, according to the machini.r)c~
operation it performs, at a quite sperif`ic rhythrn, and as a consequencc the workpieces must reach i.t at speeds which differ from machirle too:l. to machirle tool.
Consequerltly the belt conveyers carrying workpieces to ti)r?sr?
macllines each run at diff`erent speeds, and thus it woul(i be best if the objects unloacled on these belts reach thern at a speed near that of the belt itself.

The present invention, to solve the problr?m as describerl, proposes a sorting and directing dev~ce whrrr the convcyir~
planes each consist of a rotary belt, powered by a pernl.lnrnt.
magnet D.C. type elrctric motor, and pl)i:lcci alollc~ a fix~(i path.
These small belts are mol.lrltrd on a frame whicl) slidc,, .ul)l)()r ted by idle whr?els and pulled by a cnalrl powcrc(l f`or c\l~)le by an electric motor, along a mor)()rail. f'alr~ of f`red L)ar are placed parallel tQ this monorail. Sliding contacts run on these bars, providing the power necessary for the motors which drive the small belts.
Each of these pairs of feed bars is placed at an unloading or collec~ing station, and each is independent from the others. This permits the power supplied to each motor to be varied,-permitting unloading to be done on one side or on the other, and at the required speed, by simply inverting power supply polarity or varying voltage.
More specifically, the invention is a device for sorting and directing objects, essentially comprising:
a stationary endless rail having a lengthwise direction and extending along a plurality of object collecting stations spaced from one another; a plurality of con-veyor carriages and means mounting said carriages for displacement over said endless rail and in said lengthwise direction; carriage motor means for displacing said carriages along said lengthwise direction of said endless rail; wherein each of said conveyor carriages comprises an endless conveyor mounted thereon for travel in directions at right angles to said lengthwise direction of said endless rail, said conveyor carriages each further com-prising permanent magnet D.C. electric motor means for moving said endless conveyor in said directionsat said right angles to said lengthwise direction; said device also comprising: electric feed bars for energizing said permanent magnet D.C. motor means; said electric feed bars being mounted in pairs at each of said spaced col-lecting stations, the bars of each pair being located on opposite sides of said endless rail; an object feed conveyor belt located above said endless rail and said carriage conveyors for feeding objects onto said con-veyors of said carriages, and a synchronizing control unit operatively connected to said feed conveyor belt to cause feeding of objects onto selected ones of said carriage conveyors and operatively connected to selected ones of said pairs of electric feed bars to cause discharge of said objects into a selected one of said col-lecting stations corresponding to said selected feed bars.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the appended drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a partial side view, cut-away, of a device made in accordance with the invention, Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device of Figure l;
Figure 3 is a cross-section view of a device made according to the invention, taken at right angles to the feed direction.
With reference to Fig. 1, the device includes a frame 1 supporting a monorail 2 along which, pulled by a chain (not shown in the figure) and powered by an electric motor 3 or by similar devices of a known type, travel a series of carriages 4 of which only one is illustrated in Figure 1.
Monorail 2 (Figure 3) follows an endless path, which can be contained in a vertical plane, as shown in Figure 3, or in a horizontal plane, or any variation in between. This support monorail has a T shaped cross-section.
1~
Each carriage 4 includes frame 5, rnounted on monorail 2 using idle wheels 6, 7 and 8.
Of these idle wheels pairs 6 and 7, with horizontal axes, serve to support frame ~, and alternatively rest on the horizontal member of monorail 2, depending on whether carria-ge 5 is above or below the monorail.
Wheel pair ~, with a vertical axis, serves to guide carriage 4.
This layout, which permits use of a single support rail, perrnits the carriages to move even along a winding path, with a layout as desired.
Each frame 5 carries, using rol]er pair 9 and lO, small rota-ry belt 11, which moves in a direction at right angles to the feed direction of carriage 5.
This small belt conveyer is powered by an electric motor, preferably a permanent magnet D.C. type, not illustrated in the figure.
Fixed feed bar pairs 12 are installed along the path of mono-rail 2, at each unloadiny station. Each pair of feed bars is independent from the others, and extends approximately the entire length of the unloading station.
Ihe motor for driving small belt 11 gets its power directly from these fixed bars, using a pair of brushes, or sliding contacts, indicated by number 13.
Feed belts 14 are also included (fig. 1), to deposit the objects to be sorted onto srnall belts 11. Belts l4 are placed abo~e t path oi carrlages 4, and are collnectcd to deviceb, . ~
~ 5~42 preferably electronic, and not illustrated in the drawing, which control their operation.
This takes place as follows:
the objects to be sorted, carried by belt 14, fall on small belts 11 while carriages 5 are being pulled along monorail 2.
To do this there is a synchronizing control unit, which commands unloading of the objects on belt 14.
This control unit, which can be programmed, can be activated either by a machine operator or by an automatic monitor, for example a monitor of bar codes.
This control unit, depending on the final destination of the object, commands belt 14 to perform unloading, for example on the first belt 11 that is Free, and subsequently sets controls so that, when the small belt passes by the preselec-ted unloading station, the fixed bars are fed with the volta-ge required to perform unloading.
Consequently, when each carriage 5, with its relative small belt 11, passes by a predetermined unloading station, the system can be regulated to select both the polarity and the amount of voltage of the current that passes through feed bar~ ;
12 to reach the motors which drive the small belts, causing them to rotate in one direction or the other, depending on the polarity selected, and at a preselected unloading speed, in function of the voltage.
This makes it possible to exploit the special features offere by permanent magnet D.C. motors, permitting simple control of the su~st ial accelerati~n charncteristics thnt distinguish ~ 534Z
this type of apparatus, so that, for example, the objects are unloaded on other belt conveyers at approximately the same speed as that of the conveyers they fall on.
An expert in this sector can perform numerous modifications or variants to this embodiment, without, however, exiting from coverage or protection as provided by the present inven-on.
