ABSTRACT:
A carrier, consisting of a holder and a gripper, is provided for use on a drag chain conveyor used particularly for the conveyance of loose articles such as bottles. The chain conveyor comprises a pair of conveyor chains in spaced substantially parallel relationship, both of the chains moving in the same direction along a conveyance channel. Carriers of the invention are carried by links in each of the chains with the grippers thereof disposed inwardly into the space between the two conveyor chains. Loose articles in the space are engaged by the grippers and moved thereby. The holder comprises a plate and a bow and is connected to a link of the conveyor chain. The holder is supported on slide rails. The gripper is a hollow, tube-shaped member made of resilient material and has a flat surface which lies against the plate. The gripper is fastened to the plate by bolts anchored in the plate and which pass through the flat surface of the gripper. Spring nuts fasten to the bolts. In one embodiment of the carrier, the gripper has a plurality of grooves therein extending parallel to the axis thereof. The gripper consists of chloroprene rubber.
