ABSTRACT:
Pipe conveying apparatus is disclosed that moves pipe in steps in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pipe. The apparatus includes a plurality of spaced, parallel, fixed rails that have notches on their upper surface that are transversely aligned in rows. Each pipe joint extends across the fixed rails and engages a row of notches which hold the pipe joint from lateral movement along the rails. A plurality of movable rails are located parallel to the fixed rails. The movable rails also have notches on their upper surface that are transversely aligned in rows for supporting the pipe. The rows of notches on the movable rails are positioned to move the pipe joints resting at the bottom of the rows of notches on the fixed rail to the next adjacent row of notches when the movable rails are moved upwardly transferring the pipe to the movable rails where the notches are located to cause the pipe to move along the rails into position to be transferred to the next row of notches on the fixed rail when the movable rails are moved downwardly transferring the pipe back to the fixed rails. One section of the apparatus tilts the pipe to dip the ends of the pipe into a series of chemical baths to inhibit rust on the newly machined threads. A special design of the apparatus is used to transfer the pipe from the conveyor to a pipe storage rack at the desired height for the storage rack.
