ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for conveying carrier cases between different locations in a building includes a main conveyance path. A plurality of stations is located along the path so that each station is located in a different room. The main conveyance path includes a linear induction system for moving the cases between the stations. The stations include a stop position located on the main conveyance path and a branch conveyance path adjacent the stop position. Each branch conveyance path includes a horizontal storage section with two conveyer belts and a subconveying section which includes a reversible vertically disposed conveyer belt with a horizontal portion adjacent to one horizontal belt. The subconveying section extends to an input/output section which opens into the room. One embodiment of the input/output section is provided with a plurality of storage positions located in a U-shaped configuration and belts to automatically move the cases along the positions. An input position includes an automatic opening device for the carrier cases and an output position includes an automatic closing device.
