Linear Motion Conveyor

摘要

A linear motion conveyor is described and which includes an elongated conveyor bed having a product transporting surface for supporting and transporting a product between the opposite first and second ends thereof, and a drive assembly oriented in force transmitting relation relative to the elongated conveyor bed, and where the elongated conveyor bed, when reciprocated by the drive assembly is operable to move product alternatively between the opposite ends of the product elongated conveyor bed in a first direction; a second direction; and which is further rendered operable to substantially stop the movement of the product located between the opposite ends of the elongated conveyor bed.

1. A linear motion conveyor, comprising:
an elongated conveyor bed having opposite first and second ends, and a longitudinal axis, and wherein the elongated conveyor bed further has a product transporting surface which supports a product for movement between the first and second ends of the elongated conveyor bed; and a drive assembly oriented in predetermined force transmitting relation relative to the elongated conveyor bed, and which, when energized, imparts reciprocal motion to the elongated conveyor bed to effect the selective movement of the product along the product transporting bed in a first direction which extends between the first and second ends of the product transporting surface; a second direction which extends from the second end, to the first end of the product transporting surface; and which further substantially stops the movement of the product which is located between the first and second ends of the elongated conveyor bed.
