    摘要: A conveyor is provided for conveying cantilevered loads on wheeled carriages. The frame of the conveyor includes carriage roller support surfaces, which support the weight of the carriage and the load and guide the carriage along the conveyor. There is a belt along the frame which drives the carriages. Since the belt does not support the weight of the carriage, the force between the carriage and the belt need only be sufficient to drive the load. This reduces the energy used by the conveyor, reduces the wear on the conveyor, and reduces jostling of the products being conveyed.

    摘要: An accessory for tool machines is provided comprising a tool holder isolatedly carried on bar springs to effect a floating mount. The holder yields in response to selective load stress during cutting and is restricted to a linear force path to relieve stress. The yielding movement relieves stress and can operate signals in the event of overload or operate control means such as switches to cut off tool machine motors.

    摘要: A conveyor system is provided, in which the drive chain which drives products along the conveyor has features that permit control of the threshold driving force that will be reached before the chain's carrier rollers begin to rotate to permit accumulation of product on the conveyor. The threshold driving force is controlled by friction members which are located between split portions of the carrier rollers and by the angle of the outer surface of the carrier rollers. The steeper the angle, the greater the threshold force.

    摘要: A pallet conveyor is provided comprising a pallet having a tab movable between a retracted position and an extended position, a conveying surface for receiving the pallet to transport it along a conveyor path to a workstation, and an actuator along portions of the conveyor path for moving the tab to the extended position to connect the pallet to the conveying surface for transport along the portions while permitting accumulation of the pallet at workstations with the tab in the retracted position. In another aspect the invention comprises a method of conveying pallets.

    摘要: A system is provided, in which the drive chain has features that permit control of the threshold driving force that will be reached before the chain's carrier rollers begin to rotate to permit accumulation or slip. The threshold driving force is controlled by friction members which are located between split portions of the carrier rollers and by the angle of the outer surface of the carrier rollers as well as by the amount of force provided by a biasing member. The threshold force depends upon the angle and the amount of biasing force.
