  • Patent number: 4354594
    Abstract: A conveyor system for moving hangers carrying clothes includes a reciprocating chain which has a number of depending fingers attached to it at regular intervals along its length. The fingers extend down and move hangers along a pipe which is mounted below the chain. As the chain is reciprocated back and forth, each of the fingers picks up a hanger and moves it forward along the pipe, and then on the backward movement in the reciprocating motion of the chain, each of the fingers slides over the hook of the hanger and moves back to pick up the next preceding hanger. The fingers are pivotally suspended from a series of plastic slides, and these slides are arranged so that they may be pushed into engagement with one another, at one end of the assembly, so that the pipe on which the clothes hangers are supported may be used for general purpose storage and the hangers may be slid in either direction on this pipe.
