DEFINITION
Classification: 198/576
(under subclass 570) Apparatus wherein conveyors that sequentially carry the same load are synchronized in operation.
(1) Note. Examples of plural conveyors included here are endless belts having load-supporting platforms spaced therealong and revolving in timed relation so that a platform on one belt is positioned to receive a load dropped from a platform on the other belt as the latter passes around an end support roller, or an endless belt that is mechanically linked with the drive of a reciprocating conveyor so that the belt moves only when the reciprocating conveyor is moving in the direction that advances load to said belt.
