.~ Including a load-supporting bridging element (e.g., horizontal surface) between conveyor sections
DEFINITION
Classification: 198/539
(under subclass 523) Apparatus wherein the system includes a member which serves to support the load as it moves, under the influence of a previously-acquired momentum, from one conveyor section to another.
(1) Note. The member may take the form of a horizontal planar surface; however, a platform which serves only as depository for the load after it has departed from the system is not subject matter for this subclass.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
600, for a conveyor system having plural power-driven conveyor sections and involving load-supporting structure which functions in a similar manner.
