Abstract

A carrier basket stabilizing system and method for use with a conveyor system having a pathway on which cars are guided, with at least some of the cars having a carrier basket pivotally mounted thereon. The conveyor system includes a curved portion of the pathway, that may be directly before at least one of a loading station or an unloading station. The system includes a support configured to be located adjacent to a portion of the pathway, with a deflectable element on the support that extends generally parallel to the portion of the pathway, with the deflectable element extending partially into a space envelope generated by the carrier basket as it moves through the portion of the pathway. The deflectable element includes bristles that suppress an outward swinging movement of the carrier basket.
