Abstract

A right angle transferring conveyor system comprising a right angle transfer assembly which includes a base, a pair of support plates connected to the base, and a plurality of rollers rotatably attached in proximity to the top of each of the support plates. A drive sheave is rotatably secured to each of the support plates at a situs on the same below the rollers. A pair of endless belts is trained over and carried by two sets of rollers and drive sheaves. A drive shaft is interconnected between the two drive sheaves to provide common rotary power for the two drive sheaves when the drive shaft receives the same. A first beveled gear is integrally bound to the drive shaft to aid in transmitting rotary power to the drive shaft means. A right angle power sheave is bound to one end of a power sheave shaft. The other end of the power sheave shaft terminates with a second beveled gear that meshes with the first beveled gear. A pneumatic assembly is provided for elevating the right angle transfer assembly. A process for transferring articles at a right angle preferably utilizes the conveyor system.
