ABSTRACT:
A crosspush conveyor moves cans laterally of a can conveyor into cartons that are also moving at the same speed as the can conveyor. The crosspush conveyor is mounted on a pair of sprockets that support roller chains to form two straight lengths, with the lengths being positioned at an angle relative to the direction of movement of the can conveyor. A plurality of paddles or pushers are mounted onto the chain conveyor and are pivotally mounted so that they can pivot away from a working position as they move through a selected portion of their path of travel. The paddles are supported in a working position on guide rails to hold the pusher members so that they will move cans laterally of the can conveyor on one side of the conveyor. The crosspush conveyor operates without a separate control cam for holding the crosspush members in position throughout the travel of the conveyor.
