ABSTRACT:
A coupling includes an outer cup-shaped member that acts as a support for other parts and is both revolvably and slidably supported on a conveyor that moves the coupling between work stations. In the normal installation, the coupling would move between workpiece loading and unloading stations. Slide motion relative to the conveyor is used to engage and disengage a workpiece. The outer cup-shaped member acts as a shield against ambient conditions which may include heating, coating or the like. The coupling preferably involves an internal chuck feature having an expandable resilient detent member preferably in the form of a metallic stretchable annular member known as a garter spring. The coupling and conveyor are suited for use in handling soft or easily marked materials such as plastic.
