Class Information
Number: 198/393
Name: Conveyors: power-driven > Conveyor for changing attitude of item relative to conveyed direction > By conveying randomly faced items and turning items to uniform facing > Including significantly shaped portion of conveyor cooperating with significantly shaped item to face item > Including orbiting progression of item-fitting elements passing through supply of scrambled items
Description: Apparatus wherein the conveyor comprises a plurality of components that are connected together and moved in a closed-loop path such that each component is followed by and preceded by another component and a part of said closed-loop path coincides with the path of an article to be conveyed, each component forming a receptacle that is configured to the configuration of the article to be conveyed, and wherein another part of said closed-loop path coincides with a hopper or bin in which the articles are temporarily stored in haphazard array, whereby as a receptacle moves within the hopper an article will be received thereinto if its configuration conforms to the receptacle configuration and the so-received article will be conveyed.
