Abstract: Bruisable articles, such as pieces of fruit like apples, are singulated, sorted according to property (e.g., weight), and discharged with a minimum of bruising, even if the fruit is not treated with ALAR (diminozide). The cups for holding the fruit are continuously conveyed by conveying chains, and have larger, more steeply angled front and rear surfaces (in the direction of conveyance) than side surfaces so that the fruit will be held in place during conveyance but can be relatively easily discharged when the cup is tilted at a discharge station. Self-singulating is accomplished utilizing conveyors on either side of the row of cups, an overhead rotating brush, and elongated brush strips. The brushes of the brush strips gently engage the fruit and urge it into position within a cup. At the discharge section, a brush having polyethylene bristles of about 4-6 inches in length is rotated with a tangential velocity approximately equal to the velocity in the direction of conveyance of the fruit by the cups at the discharge area. The fruit falls into the brush bristles and is cushioned as it enters them, and it is discharged at a different level on another conveyor moving in a different direction.

Abstract: A belt conveyor comprises an endless belt (1) with two force-absorbing members (2, 3) extending throughout the entire length of the belt. These members are each connected to a respective edge portion of the belt and project from the same side of the belt when this is the straightened state. Support rollers are disposed for supporting the belt along at least a part of the conveying path. Each force-absorbing member (2, 3) is connected to it belts edge portion via a hinge portion enabling said member to turn through about .+-.90.degree. relative to said belt edge portion for guiding the belt about a deflecting roller (13) whose axis (14) is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the adjacent conveyor belt part, the two force-absorbing members being turned in the same direction relative to the respective belt edge portion and located at substantially the same distance from the axis of the deflecting roller.

Abstract: An arrangement for transporting printed circuit boards along a path through a dryer operative for drying wet ink applied to at least one of the surfaces of each board, includes an endless conveyor for successively conveying the boards along a vertical ascent portion of the path, a horizontal portion of the path, and a vertical descent portion of the path. A plurality of supports for holding respective boards are mounted for joint movement on, and are successively arranged along, the conveyor. Each support includes a plurality of arms which only engage side edges of a respective board to prevent smearing of the ink during conveyance, and particularly between the ascent and horizontal path portions, as well as between the horizontal and descent path portions.

Abstract: Moving ramp intended e.g. for transportation of people, comprising plates (10) supported by wheels, which are guided for movement at an upper level to form the loaded part of the moving ramp, and at a lower level which is substantially parallel with the upper level, to form the returning part of the moving ramp, adjacent plates in each part being close to each other. Stationary guides (16, 17) are provided as upper and lower runway tracks for the wheeled plates. The plates at the edges thereof are pivotally connected to endless chains (14) at one end of the plates the chains extending along the parts to be driven in one direction in the upper part and in the opposite direction in the lower part, a sprocket wheel (15) being provided for each chain (14) at each end thereof defining the distance between the parts. The other end of the plates is free for angular adjustment. For lowering and raising, respectively, the plates by engagement with the end of the plates which can be freely adjusted angularly, a rotating element (20, 22) driven synchronously with the sprocket wheel is provided at each end of the moving ramp. A number of drive stations for the endless chains are distributed along the length of the chains at least in the upper part thereof.

Abstract: There is provided a conveyor system for conveying items and including a carrier for such items to be moved between at least two spaced-apart stations and a first guide track extending between the spaced apart stations. A flexible drive tape having a leading edge and a trailing edge is reciprocably mounted within the first guide track for moving the carrier between the spaced-apart stations, wherein the flexible drive tape is attached to the carrier adjacent the leading edge by a plurality of connectors. At least one of the connectors allows controlled relative movement between the tape and the carrier. A toothed cog wheel is preferably provided around a substantial portion of the periphery of which the drive tape is wound within a cog surround which at least partly encloses the cog wheel and the wound drive tape. The surround further includes a pair of tape peeler tips oppositely disposed adjacent the cog wheel to peel the tape away from the cog wheel as the wheel is rotated in use. The carrier is supported adjacent the first guide track as it is conveyed by the drive tape between spaced apart stations, and a second guide track is provided for receiving the trailing edge of the drive tape. In a preferred embodiment, docking members provide additional support for said carrier at the stations.

Abstract: A conveyor comprises two parallel endless chains (20, 21) carrying flights (22, 23), and guide tracks (24, 25) for the chains in a forwarding run consist of an inner guide track (24) and an outer guide track (25) with respect to the direction in which the flights (22, 23) project from the chains, the guide tracks (24, 25) also being disposed so that one chain (20) overlaps the other (21) in the direction transverse to the direction in which the flights project. The guide tracks (24, 25) are formed by channels (29) with low-friction liners (31) in a single elongate guide member (30) secured to a frame member (32) by bolts (33).
