摘要 |
A conveyor system (10) is provided including a platform (40) for attachment to a conveyor (70) which may be utilized for transporting items of various sizes and weights to designated output destinations along the conveyor (10). The platforms (40) may be used for the transporting of objects only or may include a variety of conveyor equipment such as baskets, parts bins or parcel ejection mechanisms (150). The system utilizes a plurality of hinged (50) conveyor trays (40) which are connected to an underlying conveyor (70) via a plurality of flexible edge retainer members (80) that secure the edges of the platforms (60) to the underlying conveyor surface (70) and isolate adjacent platforms (40) from each other. The platforms (40) are secured in place by a medially located center locking mechanism (103, 105, 110). The system may utilize a conventional belt conveyor (70) onto which the platforms (40) are connected. Ejection mechanisms (150) may be built in or attached to the platforms (40) for diverting objects from the upper surface of the platforms (40) to desired locations. |
