Abstract

A conveyor system for transporting items from a receiving section to an outlet section includes a plurality of assemblies for carrying and transporting the items and a driving system. The driving system is configured to move the plurality of support assemblies from the receiving section to the outlet section. The driving system includes an endless chain of concatenated riving rods that are mutually hingedly connected, and an actuator for moving the endless chain of driving rods. Each support assembly is connected to a respective rod to be moved thereby in the transport direction. The actuator has a frame with two wheels that engage with the endless chain of concatenated rods. One of the wheels is a driving wheel driven by a motor. The actuator with the frame and wheels is mounted to the conveyor system such that it is movable substantially transversely to the transport direction.
