Abstract: An electrocoating tank arrangement characterized by a centrally and longitudinally disposed paint supply header extending along and proximate to the bottom of the tank, where the tank has sloped bottom walls, and where a highly desirable paint agitation pattern is achieved, permitting the part or article under processing to be effectively coated with optimum results. The electrocoating tank may further include adjustable weir arrangements at opposite ends thereof to promote surface circulation. The paint material is recirculated through conventional means and the electrocoating tank forms an important function in a conveyorized operation.

Abstract: A conveyor system for transporting wheeled trucks along a roadway that has straight and curved portions, in the center of which lies a chain conveyor. The trucks selectively engage the chain so as to be impelled thereby to move along the roadway and are supported on four wheel casters that traverse the roadway. The trucks have an upper turntable surface which can rotate in 90.degree. segments as the trucks follow around a corner of the roadway. The turntable is rotated by a four arm cross-lever connected to the turntable below the truck and non-rotatable with respect to the turntable. Turntable turning assemblies located adjacent the roadway, extend upward from the roadway to engage an arm of the four arm cross-lever to rotate the turntable as the truck encounters the turntable turning assembly. A tow pin hangs from the trucks and can be actuated to separate it from the chain to stop the truck by two different lifting mechanisms. One mechanism is located at the rear of a truck so as to stop the truck behind it if it gets too close. The second is a pivoting arm located in the roadway which can be powered to disconnect the tow pin. The truck has a tail pin that rides in the roadway to steer the truck as it turns corners. The chain has a roller guide on the inner side of the curves for support.

Abstract translation: 一种用于沿着道路运输轮式卡车的输送机系统，其具有直的和弯曲的部分，其中心位于链式输送机上。 卡车选择性地接合链条以便被推动，从而沿着道路移动并且被支撑在穿过道路的四轮脚轮上。 这些卡车有一个上转盘表面，当卡车沿着道路的拐角处转动时，它可以在90度的范围内旋转。 转盘由连接在卡车下方的转盘上的四臂交叉杆旋转，相对于转盘不能旋转。 位于巷道附近的转盘转动组件从道路向上延伸以接合四臂交叉杆的臂，以在卡车遇到转盘转动组件时旋转转台。 牵引销从卡车上悬挂起来，可以被驱动以将其与链条分开，以通过两种不同的提升机构来停止卡车。 一个机构位于卡车的后部，以便如果卡车太近，就停下来。 第二个是位于道路中的枢转臂，其可以被供电以断开牵引销。 这辆卡车有一个尾销，在巷道上骑车，以便在转弯时引导卡车。 链条在曲线的内侧有一个滚子导轨用于支撑。
