A transfer unit for transferring a ware supporting hanger from one conveyor to another conveyor. The unit is positioned between the conveyors and includes a centrally positioned rotatable support. There is provided a linear rail or arm assembly suspended from the support. A shuttle is mounted to the linear rail or arm so as to move between one end of the rail or arm assembly and the other end of the rail or arm assembly and thus between conveyors. The shuttle is generally linearly shaped and has a hook engaging member at either end. The shuttle is constructed and arranged so that when the shuttle is positioned at the end of the rail or arm assembly one end of the shuttle is positioned in line with the vertical axis of the rotatable support and the other end is positioned to cooperate with a conveyor. The method of operating the transfer unit in combination with the conveyors is also disclosed.

Unité de transfert d'un crochet de soutien d'ustensiles entre deux convoyeurs. Cette unité, placée entre les convoyeurs, comporte un support rotatif occupant une position centrale. On utilise également un rail linéaire ou un ensemble à bras suspendu au support. Une navette est mise en place sur le rail linéaire ou le bras de manière à pouvoir se déplacer entre les deux extrémités du rail ou de l'ensemble à bras et, par conséquent, entre les convoyeurs. La navette, de forme généralement linéaire, dispose d'un élément conçu pour s'engager à chaque extrémité avec le crochet. La navette est construite et disposée de façon que, lorsque la navette se trouve à l'extrémité du rail ou de l'ensemble du bras, une extrémité de la navette s'aligne avec l'axe vertical du support rotatif, tandis que l'autre extrémité, par sa position, coopère avec un convoyeur. On présente également une méthode utilisée pour actionner cette unité de transfert en association avec les convoyeurs.
