ABSTRACT:
A cable conveyor for transporting articles through a curved path of transport is disclosed. The conveyor has a plurality of pulley assemblies rotatably mounted on a conveyor frame. A cable tangentially contacts and is guided by each successive pulley assembly. The cable carries and transports the articles as it is pulled through a path defined by the pulley assemblies. The pulley assemblies may be spaced so that the path they define is shaped substantially the same as the shape of the conveyor frame. The conveyor may provide a spiral path of transport so that the articles may be raised or lowered. Alternatively, the conveyor may provide an arc to transport the articles from one direction of transport to another.
