Abstract
A pneumatic transport system capable of transporting a delivery container around a sharp bend or corner without the need for conduit disposed on a large radius of curvature. A first conduit and a second conduit communicating with the first conduit are provided along with a blower system for creating a pressure differential in the conduits. The first conduit is designed to receive a delivery container, which is transported to a pneumatically movable capsule, disposed within the second conduit. A first port is provided in the capsule for causing the pressure differential to act on the capsule when the delivery container is placed therein to transport the capsule to a receiving station, and for causing the pressure differential to act on the delivery container at the receiving station for discharging the container from the capsule. A second port is provided for causing downstream pressure to pass to the atmosphere when the delivery container is not disposed within the capsule.
