ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for looping and conveying an encased product comprising a support positioned adjacent one end of the encasing apparatus and having a guide pan pivotally movably mounted thereon adapted to move between first and second positions. The guide pan is adapted to slidably receive the casing issuing from the encasing apparatus. A conveyor comprising a plurality of spaced apart hooks is provided adjacent the guide pan and comprises carrying device for moving the hooks along a predetermined path. The conveyor is positioned so that the hooks will pass adjacent the lower end of the guide pan so that the hooks will catch and carry away the casing at spaced apart points along the length of the casing as the casing passes out of the lower end of the guide pan. A power mechanism is provided for pivotally moving the pan between its first and second positions to cause the hooks to catch the casing at the spaced points along the length of the casing. A control mechanism operatively interconnects the conveyor and the power mechanism to coordinate the movement of the guide pan and the hooks. The control mechanism comprises a cam wheel secured to one end of the conveyor drive shaft and in engagement with a switch which is connected to the power mechanism. A modified apparatus is also disclosed wherein the guide pan loops the casing over a conveyor comprising an endless chain having a plurality of spaced apart upstanding plates provided thereon.
