MULTIPLE TRAY CARRIES FOR EARLY BAG STORAGE SYSTEM.

摘要

System for the storage of early baggage includes a storage conveyor with multiple tray carriers for receiving early bags from the baggage handling system, for example of an airport and for discharging said early bags onto said baggage handling system. The storage conveyor is arranged in a serpentine fashion for efficient use of horizontal space and includes evenly spaced entry and discharge stations. The system can deliver bags to the baggage handling system in selected period of time to account for changes in flight departure times or changes in a passenger's travel plans.
