EXTENDABLE TICKET COUNTER CONVEYOR

摘要

An apparatus for weighing and transporting baggage. A conveyor is fitted over an existing ticket counter scale or replaces the existing scale to weigh and transport baggage away from the weighing area toward a final conveyor. An extendable/retractable conveyor (7) is aligned with the scale conveyor to further transport baggage toward a final conveyor. The extendable/retractable conveyor delivers baggage onto the final conveyor but may be retracted to prevent obstruction of a walking area behind the ticket counter. Optional motors (22) and sensors automatically stop or retract the extendable conveyor upon demand or when it encounters an obstruction. An optional mating receptacle guides and supports the extendable conveyor bed (10) when it is extended and may provide a spar to knock over baggage on the conveyor or optional switches.
