ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a warehousing system wherein garments on hangers are suspended from conveyors in equally spaced arrangement and are conveyed continuously from a delivery station to which they are supplied in a first order until they reach a dispatch station at which they arrive in another and desired order as dictated by the programming of a control computer. The pitching of the hangers is maintained by scroll conveyors and hangers are discharged from said conveyors by picking or gate devices which are operated by the computer based upon the counting revolutions the scroll conveyors. The system has storage carousel conveyors on which garments waiting to be picked are live stored in that they are continuously moved around the carousel conveyors. A particular sortation device comprises a drive scroll conveyor working in conjunction with a slide bar, a delivery scroll conveyor geared to the drive scroll conveyor and a transfer device to transfer hangers from the delivery scroll conveyor to the slide bar.
