SAFETY TIPPING MECHANISM FOR TIPPING TRAYS ON A CONTINUOUS CONVEYOR

摘要

A safety tipping mechanism for use in tray conveyor systems for mail parcels and the like contains a rotatable feature so that a loaded tray reaching two tipping mechanisms simultaneously causes the tipping mechanisms to rotate away from the tray without tipping the tray and damaging both tipping mechanisms. The tray then continues along the conveyor to a standby tipping station where it is safely tipped and unloaded.
