DEFINITION

Classification: 198/375

(under subclass 373) Apparatus wherein a) a member retains an article with respect to itself, b) the member is mounted on a conveyor section that thereby moves the member and the article concurrently in the conveyed direction, and c) the member is moved with respect to the conveyor section, whereby the member and its retained article are both turned with respect to the conveyed direction.

(1) Note. The limitation that the member retains the article does not preclude the movement of the article into or out of the member as long as the article is held in the member during the conveyance thereof.
