ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a carrier for holding and transporting a product along a conveyor. The carrier includes a block having a lower surface and a footprint defined by a width and a length. A shackle has an upper end proximate the block and a lower end distal from the block. The upper end is secured to the block such that the shackle depends from the lower surface and the lower end of the shackle is prevented from moving toward the block. A holder is formed on the lower end of the shackle, the holder adapted to hold the product. The present invention is also directed to a transport/holder assembly for holding and transporting a product along a conveyor. The assembly includes a trolley engaging the conveyor for movement therealong. An adapter is secured to the trolley. A carrier is mounted on the adapter and depends therefrom. The carrier and the adapter are relatively arranged and configured such that the carrier may be vertically displaced with respect to the adapter and the trolley. The carrier may be constructed as described above. Preferably, the carrier is mounted on the trolley using an adapter according to the present invention. The present invention is further directed to a conveyor system incorporating a transport/holder assembly and methods for weighing and cutting a product.
