ABSTRACT:
In a conveyor system of the type having laterally spaced side frame members supporting a plurality of load-carrying rollers for rotation about transverse axes to transport a load in a longitudinal direction between an upstream end and a downstream end of the conveyor system, a load-pusher assembly comprises first and second assembly sections including drive and idler mechanisms, respectively, two tracks spanning the space between the side frame members of the conveyor section in parallel relationship to the transverse axes of the load-carrying rollers, a first movable trolley carried by the tracks for pushing the load in a second direction transverse to the first direction, a second movable trolley carried by the tracks for pushing the load in a third direction opposed to the second direction, and linkages connecting the trolleys. Drive linkages couple the drive mechanism to the two trolleys and idler linkages couple the two trolleys to each other whereby movement of one of the trolleys in response to the drive mechanism causes movement of the other trolley in an opposed direction to center the load therebetween on the load-carrying rollers.
