Abstract
A conveyor system of the present invention includes a conveyor track defining a conveyor path with at least one load carrying unit movable along the conveyor track. The load carrying unit includes a movable pin for engagement with a movable endless conveyor chain of the conveyor track for engaging or disengaging the load carrying unit to or from the conveyor track. A pair of spaced rear wheels are mounted onto an elongated transversely extending shaft or rod at a rear end of the load carrying unit wherein the elongated shaft or rod extends outwardly from the load carrying unit and includes a workpiece mounting assembly on the end thereof. The elongated shaft is rotatable with the movement of the rear wheels and therefore rotates a workpiece which is mounted to the shaft during movement along the conveying path.
