Abstract: A cart assembly system for handling laundry in a facility, the system including first and second support structures each having arms extending outwardly therefrom. The arms support drive wheels, which in turn support a tow line extending between the first and second support structures. The system may include a drop cord extending downwardly from the tow line and engaging a slot on a tow cart to attach the tow cart to the tow line. The system may also include a mast extending from the cart to the tow line, the mast supporting a clamp assembly for coupling the cart to the tow line. A controller drives one or both of drive wheels to move the tow line and the cart along the line pathway, where the cart transports laundry throughout the facility.

Abstract: An improved conveyor system for a so-called drive-in bank through which cash, deposit slip or the like are safely transferred from the customer station to the teller station and vise versa is disclosed. To assure that each of customers who reach the bank is visually recognized from the teller room a plurality of vertical hollow columns at the customer station are arranged one after another in a spaced relation in the direction of reaching of customers' cars and a plurality of vertical hollow columns at the teller station are centralized in a small area adjacent to the teller room. A plurality of horizontally extending hollow beams are fixedly mounted on the top end parts of the vertical hollow columns at both the customer and teller stations in such a manner that the former are turned by a predetermined angle relative to the latter as seen from the above.
