Patent

CA 2095003

A conveyor system is disclosed for transporting workpieces. The conveyor system includes an elongated frame having an inlet end and an outlet end. A pair of sprockets are rotatably mounted to both the inlet end and outlet end while a pair of closed loop chains are mounted around the sprockets so that the chains are spaced apart and parallel to each other along the frame. A motor rotatably drives the sprockets and thus the chains along the frame. A plurality of pallets, each adapted to support a workpiece, are slidably mounted to the chains by rollers so that the pallets can move longitudinally with respect to the chains. A cam is secured to the sprockets at both the inlet and outlet ends of the conveyor frame. These cams engage a cam follower on the pallet to raise the pallets from a lower section of the chain to an upper section at the inlet end of the conveyor frame and vice versa at the outlet end of the conveyor frame.
