Abstract:
An apparatus for multi-axial transfer of objects in assembly line includes a first conveyor assembly, a second conveyor assembly, a first drive assembly, and a pivot point arrangement. The first conveyor assembly includes a plurality of rollers in a horizontal plane. The second conveyor assembly includes a plurality of geared chain arrangements mounted on at least one drive shaft. At least one of the plurality of rollers and the at least one drive shaft are coupled to the bevel gear arrangement. The first drive assembly includes a first motor coupled to the bevel gear arrangement to cause movement of an object in contact with the first conveyor assembly and the second conveyor assembly along a first axis and a second axis in the horizontal plane, respectively. The plurality of geared chain arrangements are movable along a third axis in a vertical plane using the pivot point arrangement.

Claim (Index 18):
An apparatus for multi-axial transfer of objects, comprising:\n a base plate; a first conveyor assembly that comprises a plurality of rollers arranged spatially and longitudinally to each other in a horizontal plane, wherein at least one of the plurality of rollers is coupled to a first gear of a bevel gear arrangement; a second conveyor assembly that comprises a plurality of geared chain arrangements, wherein each of the plurality of geared chain arrangements is arranged alternatively between two consecutive rollers of the plurality of rollers in a first section of the first conveyor assembly, and wherein the plurality of geared chain arrangements are mounted on at least one drive shaft that is coupled to a second gear of the bevel gear arrangement; a first drive assembly that comprises a first motor coupled to one of the first gear or the second gear of the bevel gear arrangement, wherein the first motor drives the bevel gear arrangement to cause movement of an object in contact with the first conveyor assembly along a first axis and the second conveyor assembly along a second axis in the horizontal plane; a pivot point arrangement that comprises a plurality of pivot points associated with the plurality of geared chain arrangements of the second conveyor assembly, wherein the plurality of geared chain arrangements are movable along a third axis in a vertical plane to switch the contact of the object between the first conveyor assembly and the second conveyor assembly; and a wheel arrangement mounted on the base plate, wherein the wheel arrangement is mounted on a guide rail track to facilitate back and forth movement of the apparatus along the horizontal plane.
