Abstract:
A material handler that uses chain driven magnetic plates to create a magnetic surface. The magnetic surface undulates and is able to lift ferrous material such as metal cans. The handler allows metal cans that are palletized to be removed quickly and easily.

Claim (Index 2):
A mechanically automated conveyor system configured to pick and place containers, the conveyor system comprising:\n a conveyor chain; a sprocket engaged with the conveyor chain, the sprocket configured to engage links of the conveyor chain in an up-facing position and to turn the conveyor chain from the up-facing position to a down-facing position as the links disengage from the sprocket; a plurality of magnet holders, each magnet holder being slidably attached to a link of the conveyor chain, each magnet holder configured to slide, under control of gravity, towards the respective link when the respective link is in the up-facing position and to slide, under control of gravity, away from the respective link when the respective link is in the down-facing position; a chain driver configured to drive the conveyor chain such that the conveyor chain engages and disengages from the sprocket; and a bar restrictor extending partially around the conveyor chain and the sprocket, the restrictor being spaced apart from the sprocket, the restrictor configured to retain a magnet holder proximal the chain while the conveyor chain transitions from the up-facing position to the down-facing position until the magnet holder passes an end of the restrictor.
