Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
Method for measuring parallelepipedal objects,
preferably cartons, which are transported along a
conveying path, characterized in that in a first width
measurement, the width of the object (K) is measured at
the height of the conveying path (B), in that in at
least one further width measurement, the width of the
object (K) is measured above this height, and in that a
signal for the convexity of the object (K) is
determined from the difference between these two
widths.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
Method according to Claim 1, characterized in
that if, at the same width, there is a lateral offset
of these two widths, a signal for tilting of the object
(K) is determined from the magnitude of this offset.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
Arrangement for carrying out the method
according to Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that for
the purpose of measuring the width, a measuring device
arranged obliquely with respect to the plane of the
conveying path is provided, preferably in the manner of
a light curtain (S, E).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
Arrangement according to Claim 3, characterized
in that an oblique position of about 60° is provided.
