ABSTRACT:
A workpiece hanger carriage (10) is movable along a first rail (11) and a pair of second rails (17,18) having portions (14,20) vertically curved toward each other. The carriage (10) includes a first frame (21) having rollers (26) rollingly engageable with the first rail (11), and a second frame (31) pivotally mounted on the first frame (21) and having a pair of rollers (51,52) rollingly engageable with the second rails (17,18). The first and second frames (21,31) are angularly movable relative to each other to maintain the second frame (31) substantially horizontally at all times when they move along the vertically curved portions (14,20) of the first and second rails (11,17,18). A pair of L-shaped arms (42,43) are pivotally mounted on the second frame (31) in laterally spaced relation for supporting a workpiece (W), the arms (42,43) having a pair of rollers (55,56) rollingly engageable with a pair of guide rails (57,58) having vertically curved portions ( 59). The L-shaped arms (42,43) are pivotally movable away from each other for releasing the workpiece (W) when their rollers (55,56) move along the vertically curved portions (59) of the guide rails (57,58).
