Abstract
A conveyor system is provided comprising a plurality of conveyor sections, a plurality of movable load bearing assemblies, a conveyor linkage assembly, a first hinge assembly, and a second hinge assembly. The plurality of conveyor sections define a conveying path extending from an upstream conveyor section, through at least one intermediate conveyor section, to a downstream conveyor section. The plurality of movable load bearing assemblies are secured to at least one of the conveyor sections such that the load bearing assemblies are free to move along the conveying path from an upstream location to a downstream location. The conveyor linkage assembly is arranged to couple the movable load bearing assemblies for collective movement along the conveying path. The first hinge assembly is arranged to couple a first end of a selected intermediate conveyor section to an adjacent upstream conveyor section and is further arranged to permit inclination of the intermediate conveyor section relative to the adjacent upstream conveyor section. The second hinge assembly is arranged to couple a second end of the selected intermediate conveyor section to an adjacent downstream conveyor section and is further arranged to permit declination of the downstream conveyor section relative to the intermediate conveyor section.
