Abstract: An adjustable curved neck guide for a conveyor is disclosed. The guide comprises a plurality of segments mounted on first and second plates using a series of pin and slot assemblies. Each segment has first and second surfaces and a guide edge, the segments arranged end to end such that the guide edges define a curve having radius. As the second plate is moved relative to the first plate, the pins slide in the slots thereby moving the segments and changing the radius of curvature defined by the guide edges.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable transfer unit which is used to transfer aligned, upright objects from a first conveyor to a second conveyor. The unit comprises a rotating wheel comprising radial blades and a curved support track which is disposed between the delivery end of an infeed conveyor and the discharge end of an outfeed conveyor. The aforementioned infeed conveyor is designed to transport the upright objects which are resting on the base thereof on a surface while the overhead outfeed conveyor is used to transport suspended objects. Moreover, the support track of the transfer unit is connected to vertical movement means, such that the vertical distance between the support track and support guides of the outfeed conveyor can be adapted to the objects having the above-mentioned configuration at different heights.
