ABSTRACT:
Workpieces are supported on pallets which are advanced by a continuously driven power-and-free conveyor adapted to permit each pallet to dwell in a work station when the pallet is stopped in the work station during continued driving of the conveyor. To effect the foregoing, the conveyor includes spaced, spring-loaded clamps which normally grip elongated lips on the pallets in order to advance the pallets. When the pallets are stopped, the clamps slip frictionally along the lips so as to allow the pallets to dwell while driving of the conveyor continues.
