  • Transmission having variable output orientation and debris control
    Patent number: 9309954
    Abstract: A conveying surface is defined by outputs with respective orientations that can be varied while maintaining the input in a constant orientation, and which can be used to more than a single direction. Power may be transmitted from a source of linear power to the conveying surface through rotation about an axis perpendicular to the conveying surface. Debris can be removed from articles conveyed on the outputs defining the conveying surface. The outputs of the conveying surface can include debris control structures to control migration of debris into the outputs.
    Type: Grant
