Abstract: A conveyor for hangers, the conveyor comprising a frame supporting a closed loop main circuit on which hangers are caused to move in a displacement direction by drive mechanisms, the conveyor further including a series of branches each including an inlet slope and an outlet slope both of which are selectively connectable to the main circuit by moving switches, said main circuit being generally circular and said branches being disposed substantially radially on the outside of the main circuit.
Abstract: Each movable member (1) has a disk (6) which is mounted free to rotate about an axis (5) and which includes an annular area (7) of radial stripes (8) together with three concentric coding and read areas (9, 10, 11) having holes therethrough. The read station is equipped with a compressed air blast nozzle (15) for rotating each disk (6) presented thereto, together with a branch (17A) having suitable detectors (18, 19, 20) for detecting said holes and connected to electronic decoding circuits.
