Abstract:
A production line comprises one or more assembling stations and at least one module for carrying containers for supplying to the assembling stations parts which are necessary during the execution of a working cycle. In one example, the module includes a paternoster conveying system including a plurality of drawings for containing the parts. The module includes two endless lateral chains and two lateral guide rails engaged with each drawer. The paternoster system and guide rails selectively position the drawers to downwardly angularly rotate toward the workstation when facing the workstation to increase ergonomic access to the parts for the assembling station operator.

Claim (Index 9):
A production line comprising:\n an assembly station; a module operable to selectively supply parts to an operator in the assembly station, the module further comprising:\n a first side wall; \n a second side wall connected to the first side wall; \n a paternoster conveyor including a first closed loop lateral chain connected to the first side wall and a second closed loop lateral chain connected to the second side wall, the first and second closed loop lateral chains defining a closed-loop path; \n a first lateral guide rail connected to the first side wall and a second lateral guide rail connected to the second guide wall, each of the first and the second lateral guide rails defining a step of descent positioned toward a front branch of the closed-loop path and a step of ascent positioned toward a rear branch of the closed-loop path; and \n a plurality of drawers operable to support parts to be assembled, the each of the plurality of drawers connected to the first closed loop lateral chain and the second closed loop lateral chain in a fixed pitch relative to one another, the drawers further engaged with the first lateral guide rail and the second lateral guide rail, the plurality of drawers selectively positioned relative to the assembly station to selectively supply the parts to the operator in the assembly station for removal from the drawer.
