ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for use in a continuous proofing and baking apparatus, having a conveyor chain for movement through an elongated track. Each link of the conveyor chain carries a product supporting grid. There is a rocker on each product supporting grid, for securing a bakery pan in engagement with the product supporting grid during movement of the product supporting grid along the track under the action of the conveyor chain. Each rocker has an upwardly extending portion for engaging the bakery pan between a pair of compartments of the bakery pan. In one embodiment of the invention, the rocker has a second upwardly extending portion, one upwardly extending portion being centrally disposed, and the other being offset. Each rocker can pivot in a horizontal plane relative to the product supporting grid. Thus, a baking pan can go around a curve without binding. If a baking pan is large enough to be supported on two successive product supporting grids, the rockers on those grids can be aligned at all times.
