Abstract
The article conveyor employs two cams of different configuration. One cam imparts oscillatory motion to an output shaft; whereas the other cam imparts a reciprocating motion. The article conveyor moves in a conveying direction from a first position to a second position and back to the first position. Motion is such that the time taken to move from the first position to the second position is longer than the time taken to move from the second position back to the first position.
