ABSTRACT:
In a carriage for conveying an article such as an automobile body on a coating line, a sprocket on the carriage engages an endless chain running along the path of carriage movement. The sprocket causes the article to rotate on an axis parallel to the direction of movement of the carriage. A pendulum weight is provided to cause the article normally to assume an upright condition. A lever on the sprocket shaft engages a cam as the sprocket approaches engagement with the endless chain, and causes the weight to swing in one direction. When the lever clears the cam, the weight returns by gravity, causing the sprocket to begin rotating so that it smoothly engages the chain without shock. The operation of the lever, cam and weight also impart rotation to article to be painted before the sprocket engages the chain, thereby eliminating shocks in the rotating movement of the article, which could otherwise cause sagging or running of the paint.
