ABSTRACT:
In a conveyor system for forwarding trays along a support, the trays are engaged by pusher mechanisms attached to an endless driven chain supported on a track adjacent to the tray's support. Each pusher mechanism has a pivotally mounted pusher member that is associated with a pivoted control member located forwardly of the pusher member and connected thereto by a horizontally sliding connecting member. The pusher member and the control member are normally urged to positions in which the pusher member is drivingly engageable with a tray and the control member is engageable with an object such as a preceding tray overtaken by the control member; such engagement resulting in movement of the pusher member to a non-driving position and enabling trays to be stopped and accumulated. The pusher member may be moved to an inoperative position by means of a second control member, operable upon contact with selectively spaced ramps which force the second control member to rotate in such a manner as to slide the horizontal member to a position which results in the pusher member being inoperative.
