ABSTRACT:
A carrier basket is suspended between an opposing pair of drive members which define a path of travel between a processing station and a remote delivery station, the path of travel having vertical flights at each station interconnected by a horizontal flight. To prevent rocking movement of the suspended carrier basket, it is provided at its opposite ends with diametrically opposite cam rollers which are sequentially engaged in cam tracks extending along the path of travel of the carrier basket, a first cam track lying at one end of the carrier basket and extending between the processing station and a point intermediate the horizontal flight of the conveyor, the other of the cam tracks lying at the opposite end of the carrier basket and extending between the intermediate point and the delivery station. Guide rails are provided opposite the cam tracks to maintain the cam rollers in engagement with their respective cam tracks, and additional guide members may be provided to effect smooth translation of the carrier basket between the vertical and horizontal flights. An improved carrier basket is also provided which is displaceable relative to the drive members on which it is mounted in the event an obstruction interferes with downward movement of the carrier basket as it approaches either station.
