A retainer dog is pivotally mounted on a pusher dog at the front end portion thereof and normally urged to a standing position. The distance between a retainer surface of the retainer dog and a thrust surface of the pusher dog is predetermined such that a space large enough for the retainer dog to rotate with a tilting radius can be obtained.

Pusher conveyor having pusher dog with retainer

The present invention provides a traverser, which includes a support member driven by a chain and movable between a carry-in rail and carry-out rail which are disposed parallel with each other. The support member transfers a truck from said carry-in rail to said carry-out rail. A groove for receiving a flange of a wheel of the truck is formed in an upper surface of the support member.

A linear motor driven conveyor which includes a carrier rail and primary members provided within a pit, main trolleys adapted to run along the carrier rail and connected with a carrying frame, and front and rear trolleys. The connecting members are pivotably connected vertically and horizontally with each trolley within the pit, the lower surfaces of the connecting members each having a reaction plate of a linear induction motor.

Linear motor driven trolley conveyor

There is disclosed a truck for use with a linear motor drive conveyor for conveying articles such as automotive bodies through a paint station. Shield means are provided carried by the reaction plate which in turn is carried by the truck. The shield means includes a central flat plate and downturned side edges which overlie and protect the gap between the reaction plate and the primary members of the linear motor from paint or other foreign particles.
