ABSTRACT:
A system and method for returning empty luggage carts over long distances from a remote collecting station to a retrieval station in a passenger terminal, where they may be retrieved by arriving passengers for the transportation of their luggage to parking lots, cab and bus loading areas, etc. A plurality of carts are inserted in nested arrangement into a load-in station. The carts are engaged individually, separated from the nested arrangement, and transported individually, in spaced-apart relation along a series of transport conveyor sections, changing elevations as appropriate and extending around curves as required to reach a discharge and retrieval station near the terminal luggage discharge area. At the retrieval end of the system, the individual, returning carts are deposited upon a shuttle carrier and shifted laterally into alignment with one of a plurality of storage tracks arranged in laterally spaced apart relation, collectively providing the capacity to receive and store a large number of returned carts, awaiting their eventual use by arriving passengers.
