ABSTRACT

An apparatus is for supporting a guiderail for guiding one or more articles
conveyed along a conveyor having a conveying path in a conveying direction.
The apparatus includes a support rail and at least one movable support for
adjusting a position of the guiderail relative to the conveyor in a direction
transverse to the conveying direction. The at least one movable support
includes a collapsible support for engaging the support rail and supporting
the guiderail. The collapsible support is adapted to extend and retract into
the conveying path in a direction transverse to the conveying direction to
selectively position the guiderail relative to the support rail. The movable
support includes a clamp for fixing a location of the movable support relative
to the support rail. Related methods are also disclosed.
