SYSTEM FOR OVERHEAD TRANSPORT OF PANEL MEMBERS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A system for transporting panel members to a plurality of selected sorting locations includes two pair of laterally spaced, elevated, endless conveyor belts defining a path of travel coinciding with the sorting locations. The belts in each pair thereof are also laterally spaced to define a longitu- dinally extending slot therebetween. An air plenum disposed between opposite sides of each belt communicates with the slots and is coupled with an air pump to produce suction through the slot which releasably holds the panels against the belts as the latter carry the panels along the path of travel. Selec- tively actuatable, force transmitting mechanism disposed adjacent each of the sorting locations initially breaks the air seal between the leading edge of the panels and the belts, while deflection structure is provided to peel the panels away from the belts to permit gravity induced delivery thereof to the sorting locations.
