Transport bag for suspended conveyor systems

1. A transport bag for a suspended conveyor system, a rail-guided conveyor system or a transport chain conveyor system, the transport bag comprising:

a conveyor member;

a transport bag having a receiving region for receiving one or a plurality of units of goods;

wherein the transport bag is attached, via a suspension means, rotatably about a vertical rotational axis in a suspended manner to a carrying means of the conveyor member; and

two frame brackets which are pivotally connected to the suspension means wherein the two frame brackets are substantially 2-fold rotationally symmetrical to one another about the vertical rotational axis, but not mirror symmetrical to one another.

2. The transport bag according to claim 1 , wherein the conveyor member comprises a carriage of the rail-guided conveyor system or a conveyor chain link of the transport chain conveyor system.

3. The transport bag according to claim 1 , wherein the transport bag has at least one wall which defines the receiving region of the transport bag and which is pivotally connected at two edges of the wall to a respective region of one of the two frame brackets facing away from the suspension means.

4. The transport bag according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one wall is realized as a carrying loop in the form of a panel made of a flexible material, for example a textile fabric or a foil.

5. The transport bag according to claim 3 , wherein a first rigid wall and a second rigid wall are connected by a flexible base of the bag.

6. The transport bag according to claim 1 , wherein a first frame bracket of the two frame brackets has a first engagement region adapted to be engaged by an actuator for pivoting the first frame bracket; and

a second frame bracket of the two frame brackets has a second engagement region adapted to be engaged by an actuator for pivoting the second frame bracket; and

the first engagement region of the first frame bracket is arranged about the rotational axis in 2-fold rotational symmetry with the second engagement region of the second frame bracket.

7. The transport bag according to claim 6 , wherein the transport bag has at least one wall which defines the receiving region of the transport bag, and which is pivotally connected at two edges of the wall to a respective region of one of the two frame brackets facing away from the suspension means; the first engagement region, when looking perpendicular toward the at least one wall, protrudes on a first side over an outer edge of the at least one wall; and the second engagement region protrudes on a second side, opposite to the first side, over the outer edge of the at least one wall.

8. The transport bag according to claim 7 , wherein the first engagement region protrudes laterally on the first side over the outer edge of the at least one wall; and the second engagement region protrudes laterally on the second side over the outer edge of the at least one wall.

9. The transport bag according to claim 6 , wherein the transport bag has at least one wall which defines the receiving region of the transport bag, and which is pivotally connected at two edges of the wall to a respective region of one of the two frame brackets facing away from the suspension means;

the first engagement region, when looking perpendicular toward the at least one wall, protrudes on a first side in a first region over an outer edge of the at least one wall; the first engagement region protrudes on a second side, opposite to the first side, in a second region over the outer edge of the at least one wall;

the second engagement region protrudes on the first side in a second region over the outer edge of the at least one wall; and

the second engagement region protrudes on the second side in a first region over the outer edge of the at least one wall.

10. The transport bag according to claim 6 , wherein the first engagement region is realized as one or more sections of the first frame bracket; and the second engagement region is realized as one or more sections of the second frame bracket.

11. The transport bag according to claim 6 , wherein the first engagement region and the second engagement region are realized as protruding rigid plates or pins attached to the frame brackets.

12. The transport bag according to claim 1 , wherein the transport bag is connected to the conveyor member via a rotating joint in such a manner that it can rotate about the vertical rotational axis.

13. The transport bag according to claim 1 , wherein the transport bag has a suspension hook; the conveyor member has a carrying hook; and the suspension hook is suspended in the carrying hook;

wherein the suspension hook can assume at least two stable bearing positions in the carrying hook; and

wherein the suspension hook in a first stable bearing position is rotated through a certain angle relative to the suspension hook in a second stable bearing position.

14. The transport bag according to claim 13 , wherein the carrying hook of the conveyor member is configured in such a manner that

in a certain spatial orientation of the carrying hook the suspension hook of the transport bag can assume a first stable bearing position in which the suspension hook is aligned in a first plane; and

in the same spatial orientation of the carrying hook the suspension hook can assume a second stable bearing position in which the suspension hook is aligned in a second plane;

wherein the first bearing position and the second bearing position correspond to local minima of the potential energy of the suspended transport bag; and

wherein the suspension hook is transferable back and forth between the first stable bearing position and the second stable bearing position by rotating the suspension hook through a certain rotational angle.
