ABSTRACT:
The unloading station is intended for incorporation in installations for pneumatic transportation of goods in containers through a tubeline and includes a frame having mounted thereon a mechanism intended for interaction with a container, to rotate the same for unloading, and guideways for the wheel bogies of the container. The frame is shaped as an arch overlaying the guideways for the wheel bogies of the container and has its own guideways and a profiled cam surface extending about the perimeter of the frame. The container-rotating mechanism comprises a driven trolley accommodated in the guideways of the frame and a member mounted on this driven trolley for reciprocation relative to the latter in a direction transverse of that of reciprocation of the driven trolley, the member having one of its extremities permanently urged into engagement with the profiled cam surface, whereby the latter is adapted to initiate engagement of the other extremity of the member with an element of the container, to maintain the member in this engagement throughout the rotation of the container and to disengage it from said element upon the completion of such rotation. The disclosed unloading station enables to unload both halted and moving containers.
