    Abstract: A conveyor and escalator for transporting objects having a substantially uniform size and length such as eggs horizontally, vertically and helically vertically comprising at least one flexible endless support means; a drive means operably engaging said flexible endless support means for driving said flexible endless support means in a direction of advance; and a plurality of equispaced elongated paddles attached substantially perpendicular to said flexible endless support means, said paddles being adapted to support an object during linear travel and to open for receiving or releasing said object therebetween during arcuate travel. The endless flexible support means comprises an endless chain, an endless belt or an endless cable. Preferably, the endless flexible support means comprises a pair or parallel spaced-apart endless chains and at least two linearly-spaced sprocket wheels engaging each said endless chain for supporting said chain in linear travel between the sprocket wheels and in arcuate travel about said sprocket wheels, and means for rotating said sprocket wheels for advancing the endless chains. The elongated paddles may have an I-section with means at opposite ends of the I-section for removably connecting said paddles at said opposite ends to the endless chains transversely to the said direction of advance whereby the paddles remain vertically upright during horizontal linear travel to support objects on adjacent upper flanges and whereby the paddles pivot relative to each other about a longitudinal central axis during arcuate travel to open adjacent paddles at the upper flanges to receive objects therebetween during downward arcuate travel and to open adjacent paddles at adjacent lower flanges to discharge objects therefrom during upward arcuate travel. The paddles optionally may have an I-shaped cross-section, a C-shaped cross-section, a Z-shaped cross-section, an inverted J-shaped cross-section, an inverted T-shaped cross-section or an inverted 7-shaped cross-section.

    Abstract: A plurality of hingedly connected members, each including a support plate for providing a substantially continuous transport surface in the upper section of the grate to support material conveyed by the grate, have pocket-like recesses on their inner sides. Each support plate in the vicinity of its front and rear ends is hingedly connected with the adjacent support plates so that the support plates form a substantially continuous peripheral surface throughout the extent of the grate.

    Abstract: Depanning apparatus for removing bakery products, such as bread loaves, from pans on a product-supplying conveyor and transferring them to a discharge conveyor comprising: a vacuum box having an opening in the bottom thereof; a perforated endless transfer conveyor including a lower run covering the opening in the box; a plurality of dependent resilient cups mounted on the transfer conveyor and including passages communicating with the perforations in the endless transfer conveyor; and vacuum responsive valve members mounted in the cups for movement to and from operative positions blocking the passages when the resilient cups are not sealed to a product and a predetermined vacuum exists in the box. An assembly is also provided in the box for selectively preventing communication of the vacuum source with the cups over a predetermined area of the traveling conveyor.
