ABSTRACT:
A device for conveying a plurality of parts in a desired orientation in a single line as they are received from an aligning device to an exit position where they are picked up by a transfer device for further assembly or handling. The device uses a pair of belts, which are spaced apart, for conveying the part in the line to a stop at the exit position and has an escapement arrangement for holding the line of parts away from the part at the exit position and allowing a single part to advance to the exit position after a part at the exit position has been removed therefrom. The device includes adjusting the amount of contact between each of the belts and the edges of the parts to limit the amount of force being applied to the parts during transfer to prevent distortion of flexible parts and/or prevent the parts from riding up over each other adjacent the escapement arrangement.
