ABSTRACT:
The present invention encompasses an interlocking carrier and a conveyor system composed of a plurality of the interlocking carriers. The interlocking carrier generally consists of a sleeve for the placement of cargo therein, at least one carrier guide and at least one guide support. The interlocking carrier may be a single molded article which is generally symmetrical about a midpoint axis. The interlocking carrier's symmetry allows for the formation of an endless chain of interlocking carriers based on a single mold. The design of the interlocking carrier also allows for the facilitated assembly of an endless chain of interlocking carriers without the necessity of tools, nuts and bolts. The conveyor system of the present invention is adaptable to a various assortment of packaging machines, and may replace an existing conveyor system or be an integrated component. The interlocking carrier is generally designed to convey partially formed cartons, however the interlocking carrier may be adapted to a multitude of cargo. Each individual interlocking carrier is also able to support and control a conveyable cargo by itself.
