DISPATCH STATION OF PNEUMATIC PIPE SYSTEM OF CONTAINER TRANSPORTATION OF LOADS

The station comprises a loading-and-unloading chamber and an adjoining pipe section, both installed between any adjacent sections of a pipeline, said pipe section being secured on a carriage parallel to another pipe section secured on the same carriage, the length and inside diameter of said second pipe section being practically equal to the length and inside diameter of the first pipe section while the carriage is installed with a provision for reciprocating across the geometrical axes of the pipe sections for placing the latter alternately between the loading-and-unloading chamber and the pipeline sections, coaxially with them, thereby either moving the containers through the loading-and-unloading chamber or stopping them.
