Abstract: An apparatus for transporting a case along a conveyor moving in a transport direction includes an engagement plate for positive engagement with the case. The engagement plate has a planar face and a vacuum source for vacuum attachment to a case outer surface face. The apparatus further includes a mechanism for moving the plate in the transport direction and for rotating the plate a selected angle from the transport direction. Related, corresponding, or associated methods for transporting a case along a conveyor moving in a transport direction are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device and a method for transferring articles between an infeed conveyor at a first speed and an outfeed conveyor at a second speed different than the first speed include use of at least a first variable speed conveyor downstream of the infeed conveyor, and a second variable speed conveyor downstream of the first variable speed conveyor and upstream of the outfeed conveyor. The speeds of the variable speed conveyors are cycled between the first speed and the second speed without any article being conveyed by conveyors at different speeds. At least one additional variable speed conveyor may be included.
Abstract translation: 在第一速度的进料输送机和出料输送机之间以不同于第一速度的第二速度传送物品的装置和方法包括在进料输送机的下游使用至少第一可变速度输送机和第二可变速度 在第一变速输送机下游的输送机和出料输送机的上游。 变速输送机的速度在第一速度和第二速度之间循环，没有任何物品由输送机以不同的速度传送。 可以包括至少一个附加的变速输送机。

Abstract: A surface platform for a conveyor belt includes a platform member having an upper surface and a rail member at one side of the upper surface. The upper surface has a first portion adjacent the rail member, a second portion adjacent the first portion, and a third portion adjacent the second portion. The second portion extends upward at a distance and in a direction such that when an article is placed on the platform member in contact with the rail the article extends to, and no further than, the second portion. The first portion may extend at least to a center of the platform member and may be horizontal. The second portion may extend upwardly less than a height of the rail member.

Abstract: A device and method of adjusting a spacing of holders located on first and second endless loop includes releasing a clutch to allow the endless loops to be adjusted and operating an adjustment assembly to simultaneously move the first endless loop a distance in a first direction and the second endless loop an equal distance in a second direction opposite the first direction. After the adjustment the timing and pitch of the center of articles gripped by the holders is unchanged relative to the system in which the device is located.
