ABSTRACT:
In a system for conveying metal coils or other heavy articles using multiple conveyors, the articles are conveyed on carriers which pass from one conveyor to another and thereby remain associated with the conveyed articles throughout the conveying process. The conveying system comprises an entry conveyor, a lateral feed conveyor and an exit conveyor. Each of the entry and exit conveyors comprises a storage conveyor section for loaded carriers, a return conveyor section for empty carriers, and a traversing section. The storage conveyor section utilizes a set of reciprocating drive frames having pins for selectively engaging and disengaging the carriers to effect stepwise movement of the carriers along the conveyor section. The lateral feed conveyor is a high speed, electrically driven car having the capability of taking on a loaded carrier and discharging an unloaded carrier and vice-versa.
