ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for transporting garment hangers has an overhead track for one or more trolleys having horizontal webs for the hooks of a series of garment hangers. An upwardly sloping first ramp is adjacent a portion of the path of movement of the web of an oncoming trolley, and a downwardly sloping second ramp follows the first ramp. The ramps are disposed at one side of the track and diverge laterally from the path of movement of the trolleys. A conveyor with a set of entraining pins is set in motion when a trolley approaches the upwardly sloping ramp to transfer successive hooks or groups of successive hooks from the web of the foremost loaded trolley onto the first ramp where the hooks advance toward and thereupon slide along the second ramp. A second conveyor can be set in motion when a trolley approaches the first ramp to positively advance the foremost loaded trolley along the first ramp. The two conveyors can be driven by a common prime mover.
