Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009061981A1] A case turning conveyor and a method for turning cases. The conveyor includes a conveyor belt having article-supporting rollers rotating about axes oblique to the direction of travel of the belt. A side rail is spaced from the side of the conveyor belt across a gap. A retarding surface disposed in the gap provides a horizontal or upwardly ramped high-friction contact area to a portion of the bottom of a case registered against the side rail. Another portion of the bottom of the case remains in contact with the rotating oblique rollers. The retarding surface slows the advance of the portion of the case it engages relative to the portion atop the rollers, which causes the case to rotate into a different orientation.
