ABSTRACT:
A carrier secures articles while the carrier is drawn by a carrier transport mechanism of a conveyor system along a series of stations adjacent to processing equipment that can perform operations on the article. The carrier has a base and one or two arms that are attached to the base at one end. The other ends of the arms supports walls. The arms move relative to the carrier base between an article-engaging position where the walls prevent the article from moving off the carrier base to a down-out-of-the-way position where the walls lie below the carrier base allowing movement of the article on or off the carrier base. Wheels are attached to the ends of the arms supporting the walls and a wheel guide track attached to the conveyer system moves the arms between the article-engaging position and the down-out-of-the-way position at desired points along the conveyer system.
