<p>The present invention relates to a conveyor (10) that ensures the orientation of an item in a prone position when the item is fed onto a main conveyor. By ensuring the orientation of an item in a prone position, the invention can be used to transport luggage or equipment, such as wheeled luggage or golf bags, to an end distribution area. The conveyor (10) provides for an in-feed section (22), an intermediate section (26) and a discharge section (24) of a conveyor. The in-feed and discharge sections (22,24) both run parallel to the main support frame (14) of the conveyor (10) and provide a flat area to receive and discharge the material to be transported. The intermediate section (26) extends between the receiving and delivery section (22) and discharge section (24) of the conveyor (10) and has a V-shaped contour (32) so as to tip the item being transported into a prone position. <IMAGE></p> |
