ABSTRACT:
An apparatus conveys hooked members and has a plurality of carrier assemblies coupled together in an end-to-end fashion. Each carrier assembly is adapted to receive and support several hooked members, and includes several apertures, wherein each aperture corresponds in position to a respective hooked member. A reflective target is supported on one side of the carrier assemblies and is located in line with the apertures. An optical sensor is located on the side of the carrier assemblies opposite the reflective target, and is adapted to sense the presence of the target and, thus, the passage of an aperture between the optical sensor and the target. The optical sensor in turn generates output signals indicative of the passage of each aperture, and the hooked members are released from the carrier assemblies based on the output signals.
