Durch die EP 0 446 658 A1 ist eine Einrichtung zum Überführen von Würsten aus einer Wurstfüllmaschine in eine Verpackungsmaschine bekannt. Die Würste werden hierbei auf einem Förderband in eine definierte Lage ausgerichtet, mittels dem die Würste sodann einer Beladestation zugeführt werden. Mit Hilfe eines vertikal verstellbaren, das Förderband durchgreifenden Hubgliedes werden dort die aufgestauten Würste in einer oder mehreren Lagen in Container eingebracht.EP 0 446 658 A1 describes a device for transferring of sausages from a sausage filling machine into a Packaging machine known. The sausages are here aligned on a conveyor belt in a defined position, by means of which the sausages are then fed to a loading station will. With the help of a vertically adjustable, the The conveyor belt reaching through the lifting member there jammed sausages in one or more layers in containers brought in.

Diese Einrichtung hat sich zwar bewährt, als nachteilig hat sich jedoch erwiesen, daß die Würste in großen Mengen durch das Hubglied den Containern zuzuführen sind. Dabei werden die Würste mitunter beschädigt, auch ist eine paarweise Einbringung in ein Verpackungsbehältnis mit Hilfe dieser Einrichtung nicht zu bewerkstelligen. This facility has proven to be disadvantageous However, it turned out that the sausages were in large quantities the lifting element must be fed to the containers. In doing so the sausages are sometimes damaged, also in pairs Placement in a packaging container with the help of this Establishment not to be accomplished.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Einbringung von Würsten in Verpackungsbehältnisse zu schaffen, mittels denen es möglich ist, die Würste auf maschinelle Art in verpackungsgerechte Formationen zu bringen, die ohne Schwierigkeiten weiter verarbeitet werden können. Der dazu erforderliche Bauaufwand soll gering gehalten werden, vor allem aber soll erreicht werden, daß die Würste bei der Überführung stets schonend behandelt und somit nicht beschädigt werden und daß diese dabei nicht von Menschen berührt werden müssen. Auch sollen die Betriebskosten durch Personalreduzierung in einem erheblichen Maße gegenüber der bisher praktizierten Verfahrensweise gesenkt werden, und es soll problemlos eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Produkte zu bewerkstelligen sein.The object of the invention is therefore a method as well a device for introducing sausages into packaging containers to create by means of which it is possible is that the sausages are machined into packaging-appropriate Bring formations that continue without difficulty can be processed. The construction effort required for this should be kept low, but above all should be achieved that the sausages during the transfer always treated carefully and therefore not damaged and that they are not touched by people Need to become. Also, the operating costs are supposed to Personnel reduction compared to a significant degree the previous practice is reduced, and it should easily adapt to different Products to be accomplished.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Verfahren zur Einbringung von Würsten in Verpackungsbehältnisse dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Würste zunächst paarweise auf eine Transporteinrichtung aufgehängt und auf dieser aufgestaut werdn, daß sodann jeweils ein zusammenhängendes Paar der aufgestauten Würste in eine Greifeinrichtung eingebracht wird, und daß daraufhin die Würste mit Hilfe der Greifeinrichtung paarweise oder voneinander getrennt und fluchtend zueinander in einzelne Transportbehälter, mittels denen die Würste den Verpackungsbehältnissen zuführbar sind, oder unmittelbar in diese abgelegt werden.According to the invention is the method of introduction characterized by sausages in packaging containers, that the sausages initially in pairs on one Transport device suspended and pent up on this become a coherent pair of the jammed sausages are placed in a gripping device and then the sausages with the help the gripping device in pairs or separately and aligned with each other in individual transport containers, by means of which the sausages the packaging containers can be fed, or stored directly in them will.

Zweckmäßig ist es hierbei, die auf der Transporteinrichtung hängenden Würste durch dessen nach außen divergierend angeordnete Förderbänder aufzuspreizen und die Würste im Bereich der Transporteinrichtung von den Förderbändern auf eine Transportschiene überzuführen und mittels aus dieser ausströmender Druckluft zur Greifeinrichtung weiterzutransportieren.It is useful here that on the transport device hanging sausages by diverging to the outside arranged conveyor belts spread and the Sausages in the area of the transport equipment from the Transfer conveyor belts to a transport rail and by means of compressed air flowing out of this to the gripping device to be transported further.

Ferner sollten hierbei die auf der Transportschiene aufgestauten Würste jeweils paarweise von an einer Trommel der Greifeinrichtung vorgesehenen, gesteuert betätigbaren Greifern aufgenommen, während der Rotationsbewegung der Trommel voneinander getrennt und in unterhalb der Trommel befindlichen Transportbehälter abgelegt werden.Furthermore, those on the transport rail should be used jammed sausages in pairs on a drum the gripping device provided, controlled actuated Grippers added during the rotational movement the drum separated and in below the Drum located in the drum.

Die Vorrichtung zur Einbringung von Würsten in Verpackungsbehältnisse mit einer Transporteinrichtung in Form eines oder mehrerer antreibbarer Förderbänder ist gekennzeichnet durch eine den Förderbändern nachgeschaltete Transportschiene zur hängenden Aufnahme und zum Aufstauen der Würste, eine der Transportschiene nachgeschaltete antreibbare Greifeinrichtung zur Übernahme jeweils eines Paares der Würste, mittels der diese durch eine Verstellbewegung, vorzugsweise eine Rotationsbewegung, hintereinander in Transportbehälter oder unmittelbar in Verpackungsbehältnisse ablegbar sind, und eine Schneideinrichtung, durch die die paarweise von den Greifern aufgenommenen Würste bei der Verstellbewegung der Greifeinrichtung voneinander trennbar sind.The device for introducing sausages into packaging containers with a transport device in the form of a or several drivable conveyor belts is marked by means of a transport rail downstream of the conveyor belts for hanging admission and for stowing the Sausages, one downstream of the transport rail drivable gripping device for taking one each Pair of sausages, by means of which these are adjusted by an adjustment movement, preferably a rotational movement, one after the other in transport containers or directly in packaging containers can be stored, and a cutting device, through those picked up in pairs by the grippers Sausages during the adjustment movement of the gripping device are separable from each other.

Zweckmäßig ist es hierbei, zum Transport drei oder mehrere Förderbänder vorzusehen, von denen das mittlere Förderband in Höhe der nachgeschalteten Transportschiene und die seitlichen Förderbänder zum Aufspreizen der aufgehängten Würste nach außen divergierend angeordnet sind. It is useful here to transport three or more Conveyor belts, of which the middle conveyor belt at the level of the downstream transport rail and the side conveyor belts to spread the suspended Sausages arranged diverging outwards are.

Die Transportschiene sollte durch einen an eine Druckluftquelle angeschlossenen Hohlkörper mit einer konvex gekrümmten oder kegeligen Oberfläche bestehen, in den zur Greifeinrichtung gerichtete Luftaustrittsöffnungen eingearbeitet sind. Außerdem sollte die Transportschiene auf der dem Förderbändern zugekehrten Seite mit einer oder mehreren Freisparungen zur Aufnahme mindestens des mittleren Förderbandes der Transporteinrichtung versehen sein.The transport rail should be connected to a compressed air source connected hollow body with a convex curved or conical surface exist in the air outlet openings facing the gripping device are incorporated. In addition, the transport rail should on the side facing the conveyor belt with a or more exemptions to include at least the middle conveyor belt of the transport device be.

Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, die Greifeinrichtung durch eine rotierend antreibbare in einem Traggestell angeordnete Trommel zu bilden, die mit gesteuert betätigbaren Greifern zur Aufnahme und Ablage der Würste versehen ist.It is also advantageous to pass the gripping device a rotatably drivable arranged in a support frame Form drum, which can be operated with controlled grippers is provided for receiving and storing the sausages.

Die Greifer sollten hierbei jeweils aus zwei oder mehreren einander gegenüberliegend angeordneten und vorzugsweise rechenartig ausgebildeten Greifarmen bestehen, von denen ein Greifarm zur Aufnahme der Würste ortsfest gehalten ist und der oder die gegenüberliegenden Greifarme verschwenkbar an einem gesteuert radial verstellbaren Schlitten angebracht sind. The grippers should each consist of two or more arranged opposite each other and preferably rake-like gripping arms exist, of which a gripper arm for holding the sausages is held stationary and the opposite gripping arm or pivots on a controlled, radially adjustable slide are attached.

Zur Steuerung des ortsfest an dem Schlitten angebrachten Greifarmes sollte im Aufnahmebereich der Würste eine konkav gekrummt ausgebildete, feststehende Steuerkurve vorgesehen sein, durch die der Schlitten durch einen an dieser kraftschlüssig anliegenden Stößel derart geführt ist, daß der Greifarm bei der Aufnahme der Würste geradlinig höhenverstellbar ist. Dadurch wird ausgeschlossen, daß die Würste bei deren Aufnahme weggeschleudert werden.To control the fixed on the sled Gripping arms should be one in the receiving area of the sausages concave curved, fixed control cam be provided through which the carriage by a guided in this way on the friction-fitting plunger is that the gripper arm is straight when picking up the sausages is adjustable in height. This excludes that the sausages are flung away when they are picked up.

Des weiteren sollten auch die verschwenkbar gelagerten Greifarme der Greifer im Aufnahmebereich der Würste durch eine oder mehrere ortsfest angeordnete Steuerkurven betätigbar sein, an denen Stößel kraftschlüssig anliegen, deren radial gerichteten durch die Rotationsbewegungen der Trommel ausgelösten Verstellbewegungen jeweils über eine an den Stößeln vorgesehene Verzahnung und ein in diese eingreifendes Zahnrad in eine Verdrehbewegung der die Greifarme tragenden Wellen gesteuert umlenkbar sind.Furthermore, the swivel-mounted should Gripper arms of the grippers in the pick-up area of the sausages through one or more fixed control cams be operable, on which plungers are in frictional engagement, their radially directed by the rotational movements adjustment movements triggered by the drum a toothing provided on the tappets and an in this meshing gear in a twisting motion the shafts carrying the gripping arms can be deflected in a controlled manner are.

Und um die Greifer zuverlässig zu entladen, sollte im Entnahmebereich der Greifeinrichtung ein verschwenkbar gelagerter Auswurfhebel vorgesehen werden, der durch die Rotationsbewegung der Trommel in die Greifarme einführbar und durch einen verdrehbar antreibbaren Exzenter betätigbar ist.To open the swiveling gripping arms of the It is also attached to the gripper above the transport container to provide a control lever that is pivotable stored and operated by a drivable cam is. And to reliably unload the grabs a pivotable in the removal area of the gripping device stored ejection lever are provided by the rotation of the drum can be inserted into the gripper arms and by a rotatably drivable eccentric can be actuated.

Mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bzw. der vorschlagsgemäßen Vorrichtungen zur Anwendung dieses Verfahrens ist es auf sehr einfache Weise möglich, paarweise aufgehängte Würste maschinell in eine verpackungsgerechte Formation zu bringen, ohne daß dabei die Würste von Menschen berührt werden müssen. Die Würste werden vielmehr von einem Rauchstock auf der Transporteinrichtung abgelagert und von der Greifeinrichtung in einen Transportbehälter oder ein Verpackungsbehältnis eingebracht. Außerdem werden die Würste während der Überführung voneinander getrennt und mittels der Greifeinrichtung gegebenenfalls ausgerichtet, so daß die Weiterbehandlung, beispielsweise die Verpackung in einer Verpackungsmaschine, leicht bewerkstelligt werden kann. Die Überführung von dem Rauchstock in ein Verpackungsbehältnis kann somit in kurzer Zeit und ohne Schwierigkeiten vorgenommen werden, auch werden die Würste stets schonend behandelt, Beschädigungen sind demnach nahezu ausgeschlossen. Da die vorschlagsgemäß ausgebildete Vorrichtung, insbesondere die Greifeinrichtung z. B. mittels Endschalter steuerbar ist, ist von dem Personal lediglich noch eine Überwachungsfunktion wahrzunehmen. Eine kontinuierliche Arbeitsweise bei geringem Bedienungsaufwand und schonende Behandlung der Würste ist somit gegeben. Und da beim Überführen der Würste keine manuellen Tätigkeiten notwendig sind, ist auch eine hygienische Handhabung gewährleistet. Die Verarbeitung von paarweise angelieferten Würsten ist mit Hilfe des vorschlagsgemäßen Verfahrens bzw. der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, die ohne weiteres auch an unterschiedliche Produkte anpaßbar ist, in einem erheblichen Maße zu rationalisieren.By means of the method according to the invention or the proposed Devices for using this method it is possible in a very simple way, in pairs Sausages are mechanically hung into a packaging-compatible Bring formation without losing the sausages must be touched by people. The sausages become rather from a smoking stick on the transport device deposited and from the gripping device into a transport container or a packaging container. In addition, the sausages are separated from each other during the transfer separately and, if necessary, by means of the gripping device aligned so that further processing, for example packing in a packaging machine, light can be accomplished. The overpass from the smoke stick in a packaging container can thus in a short time Time and can be made without difficulty, too the sausages are always handled carefully, damage are therefore almost impossible. Since the proposed trained device, in particular the gripping device e.g. B. is controllable by limit switch is by the staff only perform a monitoring function. A continuous way of working with little operating effort and gentle treatment of the sausages is thus given. And since there are no manual transfers of sausages Activities are necessary is also a hygienic Handling guaranteed. Processing in pairs delivered sausages is with the help of the proposed Method and the device according to the invention, the easily adaptable to different products is to rationalize to a significant degree.

Vor der Greifeinrichtung 121 werden die Würste 110 aufgestaut und von dieser mittels Greifern 131, die an einer rotierend antreibbaren Trommel 122 angebracht sind, übernommen. Während der Rotationsbewegung der Trommel 122 werden mit Hilfe einer Schneideinrichtung 155 die paarweise aufgenommenen Würste 110 in der Mitte unterteilt, so daß diese einzeln in die Transportbehälter 103, die dazu mittels des Förderbandes 102 schrittweise verstellt werden, jeweils hintereinanderliegend eingebracht werden. The device shown in Figure 1 and designated 101 for the introduction of sausages 110 in one Conveyor belt 102 arranged transport container 103 exists essentially from one on a machine frame 111 by means of a holder 112, as shown in FIG. 2 is supported transport device 113 and a gripping device 121, by means of which these are supplied in pairs Sausages 110 separated and one behind the other be placed in the transport container 103. Before the Gripping device 121, the sausages 110 are dammed up and of this by means of grippers 131 rotating on one drivable drum 122 are attached, taken over. During the rotational movement of the drum 122 with With the help of a cutting device 155, the pairs Sausages 110 divided in the middle so that this individually in the transport container 103, which is by means of of the conveyor belt 102 are gradually adjusted, respectively be introduced one behind the other.

Die Transporteinrichtung 113 besteht, wie dies insbesondere auch der Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, aus drei Förderbändern 113', 113'' und 113''' und einer diesen nachgeschalteten in Höhe des mittleren Förderbandes 113' verlaufenden Transportschiene 116. Die Förderbänder 113', 113'', 113''', die über Umlenkrollen 114 geführt sind und von denen zumindest das mittlere Förderband 113 durch einen Motor 115 antreibbar ist, sind hierbei derart angeordnet, daß die auf diese aufhängten Würste 110 aufgespreizt werden. Um dies zu bewerkstelligen, divergieren die beiden äußeren Förderbänder 113'' und 113''' nach außen. Außerdem greift das mittlere Förderband 113' in eine in die Transportschiene 116 eingearbeitete Aussparung 118 ein, eine störungsfreie Übernahme der Würste 110 ist dadurch gewährleistet.The transport device 113 exists, as is particularly the case can also be seen in Figure 2, from three conveyor belts 113 ', 113' 'and 113' '' and one downstream of them at the level of the middle conveyor belt 113 ' Transport rail 116. The conveyor belts 113 ', 113 '', 113 '' ', which are guided over deflection rollers 114 and at least the middle conveyor belt 113 through a motor 115 can be driven, are arranged here in such a way that the sausages 110 suspended on these will. To do this, diverge the two outer conveyor belts 113 '' and 113 '' 'after Outside. The middle conveyor belt 113 'also engages a recess machined into the transport rail 116 118, a trouble-free takeover of the sausages 110 is guaranteed.

Die Greifeinrichtung 121 ist durch die drehbar in dem Maschinengestell 111 gelagerte Trommel 122, die über einen Riementrieb 124 mit einem Antriebsmotor 123 in Triebverbindung steht, und an dieser angebrachten Greifern 131 gebildet, die jeweils an einem zwischen Führungsschienen 125 radial verstellbaren Schlitten 126 angebracht sind. Die Greifer 131 wiederum bestehen jeweils aus einem orstfest angeordneten Greifarm 132 und zwei diesen gegenüberliegenden Greifarmen 133 und 134, die verdrehbar an in dem Schlitten 126 gelagerten Wellen 136 bzw. 137 befestigt sind. Der Greifarm 132 ist dagegen fest mit einem die Wellen 136, 137 tragenden Blockstück 135 verbunden.The gripping device 121 is rotatable in the Machine frame 111 mounted drum 122, which over a belt drive 124 with a drive motor 123 in Drive connection is, and attached to this grippers 131 formed, each on a between guide rails 125 radially adjustable slide 126 attached are. The grippers 131 each consist of one stationary gripper arm 132 and two of these opposite gripper arms 133 and 134 which are rotatable on shafts 136 and 137 mounted in the slide 126 are attached. The gripper arm 132, however, is fixed with a block piece 135 carrying the shafts 136, 137 is connected.

Zur gesteuerten Radialverschiebung des Schlittens 126 sowie zum Öffnen der Greifer 131 bei der Aufnahme zweier zusammenhängender Würste 110 sind orstfest angeordnete Scheiben 141, 143 und 145 vorgesehen, die Steuerkurven 142, 144 bzw. 146 aufweisen. An den Scheiben 141, 143 und 145 liegen kraftschlüssig Stößel 138, 139 und 140 an, die auf den Schlitten 126 bzw. die Greifarme 133 und 134 einwirken.For controlled radial displacement of the slide 126 and to open the gripper 131 when receiving two contiguous sausages 110 are arranged stationary Disks 141, 143 and 145 provided the control curves 142, 144 and 146, respectively. On the disks 141, 143 and 145 are non-positively tappets 138, 139 and 140 on the slide 126 or the gripping arms 133 and 134 act.

Die Schlitten 126 werden mit Hilfe der an der Scheibe 141 angearbeiteten Steuerkurve 142 im Aufnahmebereich der Würste 110 derart gesteuert, daß der fest mit diesem verbundene Greifarm 132 eine geradlinige Vertikalbewegung ausführt. Durch die Steuerkurve 142 wird die kreisförmige Bewegung, die der Schlitten 126 ausführen würde, wenn er nicht radial verschiebbar gelagert wäre, ausgeglichen, die auf der Transportschiene 116 hängenden Würste 110 werden somit bei deren Aufnahme nicht weggeschleudert, sondern vertikal nach oben bewegt.The carriages 126 are attached to the disc 141 processed control curve 142 in the recording area the sausages 110 are controlled in such a way that they are firmly attached to them connected gripper arm 132 a straight vertical movement executes. The control curve 142 makes the circular Movement that carriage 126 would make if it were not radially displaceable, balanced, those hanging on the transport rail 116 Sausages 110 are thus not flung away when they are picked up, but moved vertically upwards.

Die Greifarme 133 und 134, die wie auch der Greifarm 132 jeweils in Form eines Rechens ausgebildet sind, wirken dabei als Gegenlager. Mit Hilfe der Steuerkurve 144 wird zunächst jeweils der Greifarm 133 und nachfolgend durch die Steuerkurve 146 wird der Greifarm 134 zugestellt, so daß die Würste 110 bereits nach einem kurzen Verstellweg der Trommel 122 fest zwischen den Greifarmen 132 und 133, 134 eingespannt sind. The gripper arms 133 and 134, like the gripper arm 132 are each designed in the form of a rake, act as a counter bearing. With the help of the control curve 144 is first the gripping arm 133 and subsequently through the control cam 146 the gripping arm 134 delivered so that the sausages 110 already after one short travel of the drum 122 firmly between the Gripping arms 132 and 133, 134 are clamped.

Mit Hilfe der auf der dem Anschlag 120 gegenüberliegenden Seite mittig zur Transportschiene 116 angeordneten Schneideinrichtung 155, die hierbei aus einem feststehenden Messer 156 besteht, werden die paarweise aufgenommenen Würste 110 voneinander getrennt, diese können somit hintereinander in die Transportbehälter 103 eingelegt werden.With the help of the one opposite the stop 120 Side arranged centrally to the transport rail 116 Cutting device 155, which consists of a fixed knife 156 there are, in pairs recorded sausages 110 separated from each other, these can thus one after the other into the transport container 103 be inserted.

Der fest an dem Schlitten 126 angebrachte Stößel 138 liegt durch die Kraft einer sich an dem Schienengestell 111 abstützenden Feder 154 an der Scheibe 141 an. Die Anlage kann aber auch durch eine Servoeinrichtung, die symbolhaft durch einen Druckluftanschluß 151 angedeutet ist, bewerkstelligt werden. In gleicher Weise werden die verschiebbar in dem Schlitten 126 gelagerten Stößel 139 und 140 gegen die Scheiben 143 bzw. 145 gedrückt, und zwar mittels wiederum symbolhaft angedeuteten Servoeinrichtungen 152 und 153 und/oder durch nicht eingezeichnete Federn.The plunger 138 fixedly attached to the slide 126 lies by the force of one on the rail frame 111 supporting spring 154 on the disc 141. The System can also by a servo device symbolically indicated by a compressed air connection 151 is to be accomplished. In the same way the plungers slidably supported in the slide 126 139 and 140 pressed against the disks 143 and 145, by means of servo devices, again symbolically indicated 152 and 153 and / or by not shown Feathers.

Um die durch die Steuerkurven 144 und 146 ausgelösten linearen Verstellbewegungen der Stößel 139 und 140 in Drehbewegungen umzulenken, sind an den Stößeln 139 und 140 Verzahnungen 147 bzw. 149 vorgesehen, in die drehfest auf den Wellen 136 und 137 angeordnete Zahnräder 148 bzw. 150 eingreifen. Entsprechend der Formgebung der Steuerkurven 144 und 146 werden die Stößel 139, 140 verschoben und somit die Wellen 136 und 137 verdreht, so daß die mit diesen fest verbundenen Greifarme 133 und 134 vor der Aufnahme der Würste 110 von dem Greifarm 132 und nach deren Aufnahme in Richtung des Greifarmes 132 verschwenkt werden. To those triggered by the control curves 144 and 146 linear adjustment movements of the plungers 139 and 140 in To divert rotary movements are on the plungers 139 and 140 gears 147 and 149 provided in the rotationally fixed gears located on shafts 136 and 137 Intervene 148 or 150. According to the shape the control cam 144 and 146 the plunger 139, 140 shifted and thus rotated the shafts 136 and 137, so that the gripping arms firmly connected to these 133 and 134 before picking up sausages 110 from the gripper arm 132 and after picking it up in the direction of the gripper arm 132 are pivoted.

Zum Öffnen der Greifer 131 über den die Würste 110 aufnehmenden Transportbehälter 103 dient ein auf einem Bolzen 162 schwenkbar gelagerter Steuerhebel 161, der auf seiner Außenseite ebenfalls mit einer Steuerkurve 163 versehen ist und an der die Stößel 139 und 140 zur Anlage kommen. Über eine Rolle 164 liegt der Steuerhebel 161 an einer Scheibe 165, die eine Steuerkurve 166 aufweist, an. Durch einen Motor 167, der über einen Riementrieb 168 auf eine Welle 169 einwirkt, mit der die Scheibe 165 drehfest verbunden ist, ist diese bei Stillstand der Trommel 122 jeweils um eine Umdrehung zu verdrehen. Die Greifarme 133, und 134 werden dabei über die durch die Steuerkurve 166 radial verschobenen Stößel 139 und 140 derart verschwenkt, daß die Würste 110 aus dem über dem Transportbehälter jeweils befindlichen Greifer 131 in diese fallen können.To open the grippers 131 via which the sausages 110 receiving transport container 103 is used on a Bolt 162 pivotally mounted control lever 161, the on the outside also with a control curve 163 is provided and on which the plunger 139 and 140th come to the plant. The control lever lies over a roller 164 161 on a disc 165, which is a control curve 166 has. By a motor 167, which has a Belt drive 168 acts on a shaft 169 with which the disc 165 is rotatably connected, this is at The drum 122 comes to a standstill by one revolution to twist. The gripper arms 133, and 134 are thereby over the radially displaced by the control curve 166 Pusher 139 and 140 pivoted such that the sausages 110 from the one located above the transport container Gripper 131 can fall into this.

Um sicherzustellen, daß die unter Umständen an den Greifarmen 132, 133 und 134 klebenden Würste 110 aus dem Greifer 131 ausgestoßen werden, ist des weiteren ein Auswurfhebel 171 vorgesehen, der auf einem Bolzen 172 verschwenkbar gelagert und über einen weiteren Bolzen 173 mit einem Ende eines Exzenterhebels 170 gelenkig verbunden ist. Das andere Ende des Exzenterhebls 170 wird dagegen bei einer Drehbewegung der Welle 169 derart verstellt, daß der Bolzen 173 und das an diesem angelenkte Ende des Auswurfhebels 171 in Richtung der Welle 169 verschwenkt werden. Dadurch wird der in den jeweils über den Transportbehälter 103 befindlichen Greifer 131 ragende Auswurfhebel 171 in Richtung des Transportbehälters 103 verschwenkt, so daß die in dem Greifer befindlichen Würste 110 zuverlässig ausgestossen werden.To make sure that the Gripping arms 132, 133 and 134 sticky sausages 110 are expelled from the gripper 131 an eject lever 171 is provided on a bolt 172 pivoted and over another Bolt 173 with one end of an eccentric lever 170 is articulated. The other end of the eccentric lever 170, on the other hand, becomes when the shaft 169 rotates adjusted so that the bolt 173 and this hinged end of the ejection lever 171 in the direction of Wave 169 are pivoted. This means that in the located above the transport container 103 Gripper 131 projecting ejection lever 171 in the direction of Transport container 103 pivots so that in the Sausages 110 located in the gripper are reliably ejected will.
