Abstract: A dumper for parts of various sizes comprising a cradle mounted on a fixed pivot for movement from a loading position through an angle approaching 180.degree. to an unloading position. The pivot axis is such that the cradle, which loads in the front, dumps to the side. The drive for the cradle includes movable chains. The ends of the chains extend part way around and are affixed to sprockets rigidly secured to the cradle.

Abstract: A loader comprising an upright frame having only two elevators or rams for transferring parts from one to the other and raising them to a point where they may be discharged. One ram moves up while the other moves down. They meet at a midpoint where parts are transferred from one to the other after which one ram goes down to pick up another load of parts and the other rises to an upper limit where the parts are discharged. A simple rack and gear drive is employed. Switches are provided to reverse the motor at the ends of the ram travel.
