PCT No. PCT/US88/03927 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 26, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 26, 1990 PCT Filed Nov. 4, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/04285 PCT Pub. Date May 18, 1989.A tipping apparatus for a tilting carrier conveyor, a conveyor, and method useful with conveyors having an elongate track (10) and a plurality of carriers (11) movable along the track. In subcombination form, the tipping apparatus has a carrier tipping device (20) mounted for rotation about an axis adjacent to the track and between first and second rotational positions, such that the tipping device is withdrawn from contact with any carrier (11) passing thereadjacent in the first position (FIG. 1) and disposed for engagement by any carrier passing thereadjacent in the second (FIG. 2). A biasing element such as a spring (24) is operatively connected with the tipping device for biasing it toward said second rotational position. A controllably releasable member (25) engages the tipping device for controllably restraining it against rotation from said first rotational position toward said second rotational position.
