DEFINITION

Classification: 156/566

(under subclass 556) Apparatus in which a single conveyor structure has means simultaneously and serially moving plural articles to the assembly point for assembly each with a separate workpiece.

(1) Note. In this and the indented subclasses may be found, for example, endless belts conveying a plurality of bottles one after the other to a labeling station. The conveyor need not have separate or holding means for each article but may merely provide discrete support areas for plural articles as in the case of a belt-type work conveyor.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

569+, for pickers for separating articles from a bulk source. The devices there are either single pickers, or if multiple, do not present the work to the assembly point.
