DEFINITION

Classification: 198/793

(under subclass 618) Apparatus comprising a conveyor having load-supporting surface means moved about an endless or rotating path and comprising a unit load-supporting tray or platform or other surface means which may support a load thereon and power transmission means, said load-supporting surface means being supported by either said flexible means, a track means or other stationary or movable means.

(1) Note. A tray or other load-supporting surface is considered to be the load if in its course of travel it is caused to be disengaged from its propelling means.

597+, for unit load-conveying means moved by endless means arranged in tandem along the path of the conveyor.

678+, for conveyor means from which a load may be suspended wherein said means is supported by a track or guide and is moved by an articulated transmission means.

701+, for bucket conveyors having a surface to vertically support a load and vertical wall means completely surrounding said surface to prevent lateral movement of said load in all directions. 803.16, for conveyors comprising rotating disc members which may be compartmentalized to receive a unit load.

804+, for conveyor means having load-supporting tray means, a plurality of which cooperate to support a single load or a load comprising a "stream" of granular or the like material.
