Abstract
A tilting carrier conveyor system comprising a track, a plurality of carriers movable along the track, and means for moving the carriers along the track. Each carrier has a load carrying member supported on the carrier for tilting movement in a plane transverse to the direction of movement of the carrier. Tilt control means comprise a guide track member in the form of a single vertical wall extending along the path of the carriers, a guide follower on each load carrying member comprising a bifurcated member defining a downwardly open-ended slot into which the vertical wall comprising the guide track member extends such that as the carrier is moved along the track, the load carrying member thereon is guided in its tilting movement by the vertical wall.
