  • Conveyor for turning conveyed parts
    Patent number: 4951804
    Abstract: A conveyor for turning conveyed parts is disclosed that operates on a lift and carry type principle. A first straight lift and carry section delivers parts to a first point. A corner or turn lift and carry section lifts these parts and turns them through a desired angle to connect the part into a second straight lift and carry section. A transmission is disclosed for interconnecting the second lift and carry section to drive the corner lift and carry section. This transmission ensures proper timing between the two. The improved lift and carry conveyor will ensure that parts are turned through an angle while remaining separated by an adequate distance.
