ABSTRACT:
A conveyer for transporting a part to be painted through a paint booth and drying and curing apparatus. The conveyer includes a transporter having an upwardly extending post, a tubular lifter disposed on the post and having a contoured lower surface which engages a pin on the post for supporting the lifter at a first elevation on the post when the lifter is in a first angular position and at a second lower elevation when the lifter is at a second higher elevation on the post. A fixture includes a pipe telescopically received on the post and having a lower end rotatably supported on the lifter when the lifter is in its first angular position and being lowered into engagement with a stop pin on the post when the lifter is in its second angular position. The fixture includes a support at the upper end of the pipe for supporting the part to be painted. The transporter is mounted on a track system which retains the post generally vertical regardless of inclines and declines in the track system so that the angular orientation of the part remains unchanged as the part is conveyed through the paint booth, dryer and curing apparatus.
