Abstract: A walking beam conveyor for the intermittent movement of articles along a transport path is disclosed. Fixed holders are positioned along the transport path to receive the articles to be advanced, providing at least two actuating stations at spaced apart locations along the transport path. To move the articles between the actuating stations, first and second rollers are provided and are supported by a support surface so the rollers are movable therealong. Support links are pivotally mounted to their respective rollers about the rotational axis of the rollers. A connecting link interconnects the support links to substantially synchronize movement of the support links. A beam is pivotally secured to the support links and is consequently supported by the rollers and extends between the actuating stations. The beam has movable supports secured thereto for supporting the article when it is move between the actuating stations.
