ABSTRACT:
The store arranged between production and packaging having an endless, circulating pair of chains on which the product-carrying gondolas are suspended for swinging action. The pair of chains, which are guided on a vertical section and on a horizontal section, are guided over an upper deflecting arrangement and a lower deflecting arrangement. Each deflecting arrangement is mounted so it can be displaced in a linear guide. A tensioning cable has its ends fastened on the two deflecting arrangements and keeps the pair of chains tensioned in each operating position. As they pass through the upper deflecting region, the filled gondolas are deflected radially by crank-like suspension mechanisms arranged on both sides, so adjacent gondolas can be operated with spacing between them, which in the vertical regions of the gondola path, corresponds to the spacing between two adjacent shelves.
