CA 2197755

A mechanism (42, 44 or 100) is set forth that prevents packages from tipping as the packages are moved along a conveyor line (34, 36). The mechanism employs at least one gate (46 or 104), a detecting means (47 or 122, 124) for detecting when a tipping package has been righted and holding means (49 or 114) for holding the gate in a closed position until the detecting means detects a righted package. In one embodiment, the mechanism comprises an upper gate (46) and a lower gate (47) mounted in the path of a moving conveyor belt (34, 36). The upper gate and lower gate are operatively connected by a camming mechanism (58, 60) which prevents the upper gate from opening under the influence of the upper portion of a package until the lower gate is engaged by the lower portion of the package.

L'invention concerne un mécanisme (42, 44 ou 100) qui empêche des emballages de basculer simultanément à leur déplacement le long d'une bande transporteuse (34, 36). Ce mécanisme utilise au moins une porte (46 ou 104), un moyen de détection (47 ou 122, 124) servant à détecter à quel moment un emballage a été redressé et des moyens de retenue (49 ou 114) servant à retenir la porte en position fermée, jusqu'à ce que le moyen de détection détecte un emballage redressé. Dans un mode de réalisation, le mécanisme comprend une porte supérieure (46) et une porte inférieure (47) montées sur le trajet d'une bande transporteuse en déplacement (34, 36). La porte supérieure et la porte inférieure sont accouplées au moyen d'un mécanisme à cames (58, 60) qui empêche la porte supérieure de s'ouvrir sous l'effet de la partie supérieure d'un emballage jusqu'à ce que la porte inférieure soit en contact avec la partie inférieure de l'emballage.
