The issue we are trying to solve for is to be able to use a coil to transit across a horizontal surface a group of identical sized items and then to be able to do the same with a different sized group of items without having to change the coil itself but by somehow being able to manipulate the...
The items we are moving preferably are moved standing up and they tend to flop over when vertically positioned, this is why the coil is such a good means to transport them. The issue is we change items from time to time and when we do we have to change spirals if the required pitch is materially...
The coil moves a specific size item along a linear plane, the reason the pitch is critical is it helps to insure that the item properly transits the linear plane. Pitches that are to small for instance won't allow a larger item to fit with in the pitch and if the pitch is to large than smaller...
The coil would be used to move items of different dimensions from point a to point b on a linear plane. Presently, when you want to change from one size object to another a different coil pitch is required resulting in the need to change the coil. The only constant we need to maintain is the...
I believe what I am attempting to do is not possible but here goes. I want to design a fixed overall length coil which I can manually adjust the pitch on. Optimally one would be able to grab the coil and by twisting it in place would be able to change it's pitch by changing its diameter but not...
