Abstract

1397973 Roller conveyers RAPISTAN Inc 26 July 1972 [6 Aug 1971] 34975/72 Heading B8A A conveyer comprises wheels 18 for supporting articles which are propelled by an endless belt 22 movable into and out of engagement with the articles, under the control of sensing members 34. Each member 34 controls an actuating member 30 which includes wheels 42 engaged with the upper run of the belt 22. An axle 52 of further wheels 54 is located in slots 50 provided in side walls 46 of the member 30 and is supported by a channel-shaped lock member 58. The wheels 54 engage a rib 56 having cam portions 78 provided at equally spaced intervals along the belt 22. The member 30 is pivotally supported by an axle 16 and is normally urged to the left by a spring 74 on a link 70 connected to the sensing member 34. In Fig. 7, an article (not shown) has caused the link 70 to move to the left, and when a cam portion 78 arrives beneath the wheels 54, the lock member 58 pivots due to the spring 74 and the actuating member 30 is able to pivot so that the upper run of the belt 22 moves into a non-propelling position, Fig. 8. Each member 30 is linked to auxiliary belt supporting hangers 26 by members 28. A retractable stop 80 is provided. In Fig. 10, the belt 22 drives article supporting rollers 90 and the sensing member extends above these rollers.
