ABSTRACT:
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.
