CA 2361944

An apparatus for transporting parts along a fixed path. At least one cradle is provided for receiving at least one part to be transported. An endless conveyor extends around first and second rollers disposed at first and second ends for movement of the conveyor along the fixed path. A mechanism retains each part to be transported with respect to a corresponding cradle while moving along at least a portion of the fixed path. The retaining mechanism can be actuated between a part-retaining position and a part-releasing position by operable engagement of a cam follower with a cam surface extending along either the entire fixed path, or any one or more parts of the path as required for the particular application. A spring can be provided for biasing the retaining mechanism toward either the open or the closed position as required.
