ABSTRACT:
A carriage reciprocator and positioner is provided with two air clutches and a continuously moving chain. The chain is arranged to move over co-planar spaced sprockets so as to present one direction of chain motion to the top of the carriage and a second direction of chain motion to the bottom of the carriage. The carriage is also provided with two chain engaging sprockets each controlled by a respective one of two air clutches. The chain engaging sprockets on the carriage normally idle with chain motion. However actuation of the controlling air clutch halts the spinning and forces the sprocket and clutch to act as a unit to thereby move the carriage linearly along the length of the chain in a direction dependent upon which portion of the chain was so engaged. Means are provided to automatically reverse the stroke, to vary the length of the stroke and to vary the speed of the stroke.
