ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system includes a plurality of article carriers supported for movement in succession on a rail along a first predetermined path. The support plate of an electronic weigh cell is positioned along a second predetermined path adjacent the first path and at least one endless flexible member is arranged for movement along the second path towards the support plate. The article carriers are moved in succession along the first path so that each article carrier in turn passes adjacent the endless flexible member. Each article carrier is adapted to engage the endless flexible member as the article carrier moves along the first path such that at least a part of the article carrier and any article carried thereby is moved along a portion of the second path onto the support plate so that a load is applied thereto. The electronic weigh cell is arranged to emit a signal which is related to the total weight of the portion of the article carrier and any article carried thereby.
