ABSTRACT:
This turn conveyor apparatus is disposed between two conveyors having angularly related travel axes for the purpose of transporting articles, such as envelopes, from one conveyor to the other. The turn conveyor includes drive and idler sprockets having horizontal, angularly related axes of rotation, said sprockets being connected by an endless belt traversing a rotating corner disc assembly having a vertical axis of rotation and being disposed between the sprockets. The disc assembly includes upper and lower discs receiving the endless belt and said endless belt includes spaced friction pads on the outer surface. The disc assembly also includes a base disc located below the lower disc and having an annular surface disposed adjacent the endless belt and cooperating with the friction pads to grip the envelopes and transport them in an arcuate path from one angularly related conveyor to the other.
