A stacked articles accumulating apparatus (10) functions by down-stacking. The apparatus includes a surface (20) supported on an air cylinder member (25) with a solenoid valve (40) controlled by a photo eye sensor (35) to release air from the cylinder member (25) to maintain the top article of an accumulating articles stack (S) on the support surface (20) substantially at a predetermined elevation. Additional components include a limit switch (50) for setting a minimum elevation of the support surface (20), a compressed air source (60) supplying the air cylinder member (25), and an article supply mechanism (120). A method of article accumulation at substantially a predetermined level is also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) d'accumulation d'articles empilés, fonctionnant par empilement à régulation par le bas. Ce dispositif (20) comprend une surface montée sur une partie (25) cylindre à air équipée d'une vanne électromagnétique (40) commandée par un capteur (35) à cellule photoélectrique, et permettant de libérer de l'air hors de la partie (25) cylindre à air afin de maintenir sensiblement à une hauteur prédéterminée l'article se trouvant au sommet d'une pile (S) d'articles accumulés sur une surface (20) de support. Ce dispositif comprend en outre un commutateur (50) limiteur permettant de régler la hauteur minimale de la surface (20) de support, une source d'air comprimé (20) alimentant la partie (25) cylindre à air, et un mécanisme (120) de chargement d'articles. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé permettant d'accumuler des articles en les maintenant sensiblement à un niveau prédéterminé.
