ABSTRACT:
A packaging machine of the type having a conveyor formed of pivotally mounted sections includes a mechanism for automating the raising and lowering of the sections. Each section includes a pair of rollers including a first, long roller that extends transversely across the conveyor and which remains in the plane of the conveyor when the section is pivoted upwardly, and either a second roller of short transverse extent or a second roller of intermediate transverse extent that pivots upwardly above the plane of the conveyor when activated. The pivoting action is accomplished by selectively positioning elongate rail members, having a longitudinal extent substantially equal to the length of the conveyor, in the path of travel of connector plates that rigidly depend from opposite ends of each pair of rollers.
