ABSTRACT:
Article handling apparatus includes a pair of first and second spaced parallel elongate conveying tracks defining a conveying path and at least one transfer station. A carrier mechanism is movably mounted on the tracks for linear movement along the conveying path into and out of the transfer station. An article engagement device is mounted on the carrier mechanism and movable relative to the carrier mechanism between a conveying position and a transfer position. A lift actuator mechanism is mounted for vertical movement relative to the spaced conveying tracks at the transfer station. An article engagement device actuator is movably mounted for vertical movement on the carrier mechanism. The article engagement device actuator is linked to the article engagement device and actuates movement of the device between the conveying position and transfer positions upon movement of the device actuator. The device actuator includes a lifting member engageable with the lift actuator mechanism upon movement of the carrier mechanism into the transfer station whereby during engagement of the member and mechanism, the article engagement device is movable upon movement of the lift actuator mechanism.
