Abstract

A vertical conveyor having a support, a drive coupled to the support to move in a drive path having a return zone, a conveying zone, and a transition zone between the return and conveying zone. The vertical conveyor also includes a carrier having a free end and a connected end. The connected end is pivotally coupled to the drive with the carrier being in a return position when the carrier is in the return zone and an operative position when the carrier is in the conveying zone. Finally, the vertical conveyor includes a positioning assembly that is coupled to the support and that has a guide positioned to engage the free end of the carrier as the carrier moves through the transition zone and to smoothly move the carrier from its return position to its operative position. The vertical conveyor may be used in a conveyor system having a supply conveyor and a discharge conveyor that is located vertically below the supply conveyor as well as in a multi-floor conveyor system.
