ABSTRACT:
A conveyor has an overhead rail with a chain therebelow moving rollers along the conveyor rail. A first link is affixed to the conveyor chain and extends perpendicularly thereto for all portions of the conveyor rail. A second link is located below the first and carries a part-carrying rack. A universal joint connects a lower end of the upper link and an upper end of the lower link, the latter being angled to place the universal joint yokes at angles relative to one another. When the link assembly moves up or down an ascending or descending portion of the conveyor, the rack carried by the second link is caused to pivot so that the racks can be placed closer together when moving along horizontal portions of the conveyor rail.
