ABSTRACT:
A monorail conveyor system is provided with a plurality of spool links which are rotatably interconnected with each other and are comprised of integrally molded plastic pieces. The spool links slide along a single rail which defines the conveyor track. One spool link rotatably engages the adjacent spool link to comprise a bearing connection between them. The bearing is an extended surface which is engaged by a driving wheel, such as a sprocket wheel, so that the plurality of spool links are directly engaged and driven along the single rail of the conveyor track without the use of any additional drive chain. Between each adjacent pair of spools is a cradle for carrying a citrus fruit or other object in the nest defined between the spools. The cradle is activatable in two modes, either as an object ejector or as an object lifter.
