Abstract

See full text

A conveyor system for transporting items between specified work locations within a building is disclosed. The conveyor system includes a continuous guide track including a continuously moving drive chain and individual floor supported carts that move along the guide track. The individual carts have a retractable drive pin assembly that cooperates with disengaging rails mounted adjacent the guide track to allow the carts to stop at certain locations along the guide track. The individual carts have a retractable guide pin assembly that cooperates with selectively retaining means mounted thereon and cams mounted adjacent the guide track to retract the guide pin to allow the carts to be rotated at work stations or oriented in a sideways configuration to save space along the guide track. The carts also have a platform for supporting the items that is adjustable in height.
