Abstract:
A relocation method for moving piece goods and an associated transport device are provided. The piece goods ( 2 ), that are prone to falling over, in particular bottles, are moved between an in-flow region (E) and a holding area ( 9 ) for a layer ( 10 ) formed of adjacent rows ( 3, 4, 5 ) of the piece goods ( 2 ). A transport device ( 1 ) has multiple relocation guides ( 11 - 15 ) which are moveable in a controlled manner, and which are configured to transport a row ( 3 - 7 ) or a set of rows of the piece goods between the inflow region (E) and the holding area, to assemble or disassemble a layer. A respective second-outermost row (K 2 ) or a second-outermost set of rows of the layer are secured against falling over by means of a relocation guide ( 11 ). An outermost row (K 1 ) or an outermost set of rows is added to the layer or removed from the layer.

Claim (Index 15):
A relocation process for the row-by-row relocation of piece goods, prone to falling over, between an inflow area, at which the piece goods enter or leave in an essentially horizontal direction of movement, and a holding area for a layer of rows of piece goods arranged next to each other, the process comprising the steps of:\n providing a flat surface arranged between the inflow area and the holding area and supporting the piece goods between the inflow area and the holding area; providing movable relocation guides; transporting a respective row or a respective set of rows of piece goods between the inflow area and the holding area, over the flat surface, in order to assemble or disassemble a layer; and securing a second-outermost row or a second-outermost set of rows of the layer during the assembly or disassembly of a layer by means of one of the relocation guides against falling over, while an outermost row or the outermost set of rows is being added to the layer or is being removed from the layer.
