Abstract

The invention relates to a device ( 1 ) for pushing metallic goods ( 2 ) off and onto a conveyor ( 3 ) in a direction (S) transverse to a conveying direction (F), wherein the device ( 1 ) has a displacement arm ( 5 ) displaceable relative to a stationary stand ( 4 ) and in an end region ( 6 ) of which, at least one gripping element ( 7, 8 ) is arranged for gripping the metallic goods ( 2 ). In order to be able to effect pushing of goods off of a conveyor and thereon in a simple and space-saving manner, the invention is characterized in that the displacement arm has at least two arm sections displaceable within each other in a telescopic manner.

Claims (12)

1. A device ( 1 ) for pushing metallic goods ( 2 ) off or onto a conveyor ( 3 ) in a direction (S) transverse to a conveying direction (F), wherein the device ( 1 ) has a displacement arm ( 5 ) displaceable relative to a stationary stand ( 4 ) and in an end region ( 6 ) of which, at least one gripping element ( 7 , 8 ) is arranged for gripping the metallic goods ( 2 ),

characterized in that

the displacement arm ( 5 ) has at least two arm sections ( 5 ′, 5 ″) displaceable within each other in a telescopic manner, and in that there are provided two gripping elements ( 7 , 8 ) of which one is arranged on an innermost, telescopically pushed in, arm section ( 5 ″) of the at least two arm sections, and another is arranged on an arm section ( 5 ′) of the at least two arm sections that directly receives the innermost, telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″).

2. A device according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the gripping element ( 8 ), which is arranged on the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″) is supported for rotation about the axis ( 9 ), and in that the gripping element ( 7 ), which is arranged on the arm section ( 5 ′) that directly receives the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″), is fixedly arranged on this arm section ( 5 ′).

3. A device according to claim 1 ,

characterized in that

the gripping element ( 8 ) is so arranged and pivotable on the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″) that the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″), together with the gripping element ( 8 ) can be pushed in the arm section ( 5 ′) that receives the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″), to a most possible extent, completely.

4. A device according to- claim 1 ,

characterized in that the device further comprises:

hydraulic piston-cylinder means ( 10 ) for displacing the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″) relative to the arm section ( 5 ″) that directly receives the innermost telescopically pushable-in arm section ( 5 ″).
