Abstract

A pallet for a conveyor includes a first connector, a second connector, and a link engaging the connectors of adjacent pallets. The link permits the connectors of adjacent pallets to move relative to each other through an arcuate path. This arrangement for adjacent pallets results in a connection between the pallets that accommodates the varying distance between the adjacent pallets as they travel through a curved path.
