ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system is provided which includes a conveyor table which has an advancing section wherein a conveyor transports racks of small objects from a loading position to a position wherein the racks can be removed from the conveyor or unloaded, and a return section wherein the conveyor returns unloaded racks positioned on their sides to the loading point where the racks can be again loaded with small objects or removed from the conveyor for storage, or until later needed. The conveyor is an endless length of a plurality of links joined together head-to-toe, next adjacent links being connected together in such a manner as to allow horizontal pivotal motion permitting the conveyor to move in a curved direction. Each link provides support for the racks and is in turn supported on a rotatable member which makes only line contact with the conveyor table as the conveyor is moved along the conveyor table.
