ABSTRACT:
An overhead conveyor system for a plant having at least two work stations has a conveyor rail loop for each station, a feeder rail for each loop, extending toward the loop from a terminal zone, and a return rail for each loop, extending from the loop to the terminal zone. A bypass rail segment extends from one of said loops to the other, with its ends spaced from the feeder and return rails for those loops. Shiftable rail devices allow goods either to traverse all of said one loop or, as a selectable alternative, to traverse only a part of said one loop and move along the bypass segment directly into the other loop. Other shiftable rail devices allow goods that have traversed said one loop to move either to its return rail or to the feeder rail for said other loop. Various shiftable rail devices are disclosed.
