ABSTRACT:
A dual cable conveyor and a turn comprising two parallel horiztonally running container-conveying and supporting cables. The cables run in parallel tracks and both simultaneously support the can which straddles the cables. At the turn, an upper and a lower sheave are provided independently rotatable about a common vertical axis. Each sheave has a peripheral groove defined by a narrow upper flange and a wide cable-supporting lower flange. The upper flange is less than the radius of the cable and the lower flange is greater than the radius but smaller than the diameter. The inner cable rides about the upper sheave which is smaller and runs faster than the lower sheave. The inner cable has lengthwise thereof its upper sector tangential to the outer periphery of the upper sheave and therewith supports and advances the cans between appropriately curved inner and outer guide rails. The outer cable disappears below the upper sheave upstream of the entry into the corner and reappears downstream of the exit from the corner into the straight run.
