ABSTRACT:
An automatic accumulating lift and carry mechanism is provided and comprises an elongated frame having a plurality of work support members secured to and spaced longitudinally along the frame on each lateral side thereof which form work stations adapted to receive and support a workpiece. A main carriage assembly is longitudinally slidably mounted to the frame and a drive mechanism longitudinally reciprocally moves the carriage assembly between a forward and a retracted position. A pair of lifting members are pivotally secured to the main carriage assembly for each work station and are pivotal between an upper and a lower position. In their upper position, the lifting members engage and elevate a workpiece above the work support members at that work station while, in their lower position, the lifting members release the work onto the work support members. An actuating carriage assembly is longitudinally slidably mounted to the main carriage assembly and movable between an actuating and nonactuating position for pivoting the lifting members between their upper and lower position.
