ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for carrying skids supporting products to be assembled along an assembly line comprises straight sections of driven belt conveyors having skid positioning rails extending above the surface of the belt conveyors on either side with the rails being spaced to receive the skids therebetween to position the skids across the belt conveyors. Arcuate sections of driven roller conveyors are positioned between the straight sections of belt conveyors with the roller conveyors being wider than the belt conveyors to accommodate rotation of the skids as they are carried around the roller conveyors. Skid orienting apparatus is positioned adjacent the outlet ends of the roller conveyors for squaring the skids relative to the belt conveyors such that skids carried along the conveyor system are smoothly conveyed from the arcuate roller conveyors to the straight belt conveyors in spite of angular misorientation of the skids along the roller conveyors, which misorientation could otherwise cause jamming of the skids upon attempted entry into the narrower. Straight belt conveyors.
