ABSTRACT:
A monorail conveyor system having an inverted plastic T-bar monorail track suspended from supporting structural members conjoined by conventional bolt and nut fasteners, a plurality of plastic conveyor trolleys operatively movable on the T-bar monorail by a drive chain comprising a plurality of plastic chain links articulatedly connected together, the drive chain being driven by conventional conveyor drive chain power mechanism. Each plastic T-bar monorail track section comprises an upstanding stem having a laterally extending pendant lobe on each side thereof and a pair of laterally outwardly directed flanges at the distal end of said stem for both horizontal and inclined travel of the conveyor trolleys. The monorail conveyor structure includes a variety of plastic fittings for connecting the plastic T-bar monorail track sections together and to supporting structural members, a plastic turn wheel for supporting the conveyor trolleys in their translation on the monorail track at a turn or bend in the track, and plastic sway braces to maintain T-bar monorail supporting rods in a relatively fixed angular relationship.
