ABSTRACT:
An automated work station which may be used when needed in conjunction with two vertical temporary holding conveyors makes use of a tiltable table and associated transition table for each conveyor. One tiltable table is shifted to a first upper horizontal position to receive empty boxes, one at a time, from its vertical conveyor. The other tiltable table is shifted to a first upper horizontal position to receive box units in which have been stored supply quantities of the different material items from which the operator selects specified quantities of items and places those items in the empty box units until an order is filled. The tiltable tables each have a tilted position for the operator's convenience while the boxes are being unloaded and loaded. When a box unit is to leave the tiltable table, the table is again tilted to a second and lower horizontal position from which the box unit is moved to a second lower horizontal level of the transition table. At that second lower horizontal level there are two intermeshing traction platforms, both power operated. If the box is to be returned to the vertical conveyor, it will rest on one of the intermeshing traction platforms and will be passed to the vertical conveyor. If the box is to be sent away it will rest on the other of the intermeshing traction platforms and passed in a right angular direction to a horizontal conveyor which takes it away.
