Carrier Member Having a Resilient Member

摘要

A carrier member is configured to receive a discrete article from a transfer assembly. The carrier member includes a cylindrical roll having a receiving surface and a resilient member connected with the receiving surface. The resilient member has a plurality of intermittently spaced first voids extending circumferentially about the axis of rotation at a first radial distance from the axis of rotation and a plurality of intermittently spaced second voids extending circumferentially about the axis of rotation at a second radial distance from the axis of rotation. The first radial distance is greater than the second radial distance. Each first void is separated from each second void.

1. A carrier member configured to receive a discrete article from a transfer assembly, the carrier member comprising a body having an outer surface and a resilient member connected with the outer surface of the body, wherein the resilient member comprises:
a resilient material; a first row of intermittently spaced first voids; and a second row of intermittently spaced second voids, wherein each first void in the first row is offset from the adjacent second voids in the second row, wherein each first void is separated from each second void by the resilient material.
