ABSTRACT:
A work piece conveyor particularly suitable for moving piston connecting rods. The conveyor comprises at least two stands secured to base in a spaced apart relationship from each other. A pair of spaced and parallel rail members are secured to and between the stands in a generally horizontal elevation. A rough assembly having an elongated base portion is positioned beneath and parallel to the rail members so that the base of the trough assembly is spaced apart from the rail members at a predetermined distance. An oscillating mechanism is utilized to vertically oscillate the trough assembly relative to the rail members.
The piston connecting rods are placed on the conveyor so that the ring portion of the piston rod connector is supported by the rail members and the elongated rod portion of the piston rod connector depends downwardly and abuts against the rough assembly base portion. As the trough assembly moves vertically upward toward the rail members, the ring portion of each connecting rod slides longitudinally along the rail members due to the shape and weight distribution of the piston rods. Conversely as the trough assembly moves vertically downward away from rail members, the connecting rod portion of the piston rod swings within the trough assembly thus providing longitudinal movement of each connecting rod along the trough assembly.
