Abstract
An inverting conveyor system includes a series of conveyors that can invert a flexible article of manufacture, such as a cushioning element (e.g., a cushioning element of a mattress, etc.) formed from an elastomeric gel. The inverting conveyor system includes a first conveyor, a second conveyor, and an optional third conveyor. The first conveyor receives the flexible article of manufacture in an inverted orientation. The second conveyor is associated with the first conveyor in a manner that enables inversion of the flexible article of manufacture from the inverted orientation to an upright orientation. The optional third conveyor receives the flexible article of manufacture from the second conveyor and transports it to a desired destination. Methods for inserting flexible articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
