Article conveyance having mechanical drive
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for conveying articles, particularly articles such as containers, or bottles, having a neck portion with a neck ring thereon, along an article conveying path with the articles being urged along the article conveying path by article engaging members extending from a plurality of sections of an elongated movable member that extends from a guide along a guide path adjacent and horizontally offset from the article conveying path. The elongated movable member is preferably a chain having a plurality of links and article engagement preferably includes a flange that extends horizontally from each chain link into the article conveying path with adjacent flanges spaced from one another in the article conveying path whereby the chain links and flanges extending therefrom enable limited angular deviation of the chain during normal operation with the flanges engaging the lower edge of the neck ring of articles in the article conveying path so that the articles are urged along the article conveying path upon movement of the chain unit along the guide path.
