Apparatus for transferring cargoes.

摘要

An apparatus (8) transfers cargoes (W) between a shelf (6) in a rack or the like and a rigid bed (7) disposed on a transporter (1) or the like, so that each cargo is pushed onto the bed (7) or into the shelf (6). The apparatus has a traverser (9) disposed along at least one of opposite sides of a transfer path formed between the bed (7) and the shelf (6). A first driving means (11) causes the traverser (9) to reciprocate along the transfer path, between its retracted position beside the rigid bed and its extended position in and beside the shelf. A pair of transfer arms (10a, 10b) pushing the cargo towards and away from the rigid bed (7) are respectively secured to a forward and rearward ends of the traverser (9) and arranged along the transfer path. The apparatus further has a second driving means (12) for driving the transfer arms in opposite directions between their upright rest position and their laid active position located in the transfer path. <IMAGE>
