ABSTRACT:
A load bearing pendant system of the type commonly used in conjunction with an overhead conveyor system. The disclosed pendant system is adjustable to operate in either of two distinct modes. A first mode of operation provides for continuous rotation of a work piece being linearly displaced along a conveyor line. A second mode of operation provides for indexed rotation at various predetermined spacial intervals along the line. Conversion from operation in either mode to the other is accomplished by threaded securement or removal, thereby avoiding the otherwise necessary capital investment in two separate sets of pendant systems directed to each mode. The load bearing pendant system includes a hanger assembly upon which objects are releasably mounted. The hanger assembly is linearly driven in a predetermined direction along the conveyor system. A hanger drive mechanism which is connected to both the hanger assembly and the conveyor system either rotates or provides for indexing of the hanger assembly.
