ABSTRACT:
There is shown an endless conveyor having a loading station and an unloading station. Articles, such as pouches are loaded individually onto platters on an endless chain by a walking beam type device. Each platter on the chain co-operates with the next adjacent platter to form article receiving pockets and each platter has a plurality of slots aligned with the plurality of slots in the next adjacent platter. Articles are driven up an inclined ramp by a delivery conveyor to a loading platform. From the loading platform the articles are loaded onto the endless chain conveyor by the loading walking beam device. Articles are discharged from the endless chain conveyor at an unloading station where a series of platters pass through a vertical run of the chain onto upstanding rods which are inserted into the rear of the slots and then, whilst the conveyor is stationary, move horizontally to discharge the articles onto a platform. The rods are then returned to their initial position and the next series of platters is lowered over the rods along the vertical run. Differences in the movement requirements of the loading and unloading station are accommodated by an accumulator system of known type. There is also described the hinged attachment of the platters to the chain conveyor so that adjacent platters may hinge relative to each other on the chain.
