Abstract
A work transfer device executes a generally rectilinear path of movement for progressively transferring articles between successive stations. Transverse vertical motion is imparted via a track which is bodily transversely displaced while maintained parallel with the longitudinal travel of the carriage. A roller rides in the track with longitudinal motion of the carriage. The track is displaced by a double bellcrank mechanism to shift the roller vertically and in turn impart vertical transverse motion to the device.
