Abstract:
A transport chute is suitable for use as a store for articles that are able to be laid one on top of another, in particular packages and items of luggage. The chute contains a chute portion which has an inclined chute surface with a dropping direction along the chute surface. The chute portion is interrupted by an interruption such that the chute surface is subdivided into at least an upper chute surface and lower chute surface. The interruption is configured to make it easier to form at least two layers of articles lying one on top of another below the interruption. The lower chute surface has a driver, which is drivable and actuable counter to the dropping direction, for transporting the articles, the articles of the bottommost layer being able to rest at least in part on the driver in order to be transported.

Claim (Index 28):
A method for storing and/or a simplified discharging of goods, which can be disposed one above another, on a transport chute, the transport chute having a slide section with an inclined sliding surface, with a direction of fall along the inclined sliding surface, and a chute terminal beneath the slide section, the inclined slide section being interrupted by at least one interruption such that the sliding surface is divided into at least one upper sliding surface and one lower sliding surface, at least the lower sliding surface having at least one drivable and controllable driver contrary to the direction of fall on which the goods of a bottom layer can rest at least partially, which comprises the following method steps of:\n letting the goods pass along the inclined sliding surface in the direction of fall; and transporting the goods by the driver contrary to the direction of fall.
