DEFINITION

Classification: 198/370.01

By loading or unloading section at a selected one of a plurality of pre-established locations along the length thereof:

(under subclass 348) Subject matter wherein (a) a main line conveyor has two or more supply or discharge points at intervals along the conveyor's path and (b) a means to select which of these points is to be used to receive a load to the carrier or to discharge the load from the carrier.

(1) Note. The selected locations along the length may be merely the ends of the conveyor and do not necessarily include the selective locations in between.

369.1+, for a main line conveyor which selectively moves relative to adjacent conveyors to feed or receive from the spaced source or destination.

371.1+, for a reversibly driving main line section.

890+, for selective delivery from or to plural laterally spaced paths which are upstream or downstream of the conveyor.
