Gravity Conveyor System

A gravity conveyor assembly, comprising:

• first and second track assemblies positioned parallel to each other, each including:
• a body, including a female slot created in a first surface of the body;
• and
• a track member, including:
• a frictional engagement portion received in the female slot of the body and frictionally engaged within the female slot;
• and
• a track extending portion freely extending above the first surface of the body, the track extending portion oriented at an angle with respect to an axis oriented transverse to a ground surface such that the track extending portion has a continuous slope with respect to the ground surface;
• and
• a cassette supported on the first and second track members and adapted for gravity induced rolling motion by the continuous slope.

• and
• a bracket having a bracket body fastenably connected to the body using a plurality of fasteners individually received in the plurality of elongated apertures, the bracket including a retention arm integrally extending from the bracket body and axially aligned with the track extending portion.

A gravity conveyor assembly, comprising:

• an extrusion body including a plurality of elongated slots created in a first surface of the extrusion body;
• a flat plate track member fastened to the extrusion body using first and second fasteners engaged within individual ones of the plurality of elongated slots, the track member having a track extending portion freely extending above the first fastener, the track extending portion oriented at an angle with respect to an axis oriented transverse to a ground surface such that the track extending portion has a continuous slope with respect to the ground surface;
• and
• a bracket having a bracket body fastenably connected to the body, the bracket including a retention arm integrally extending from the bracket body and axially aligned with the track extending portion.

A gravity conveyor support system, comprising:

• a body including:
• a bracket body integrally joined to and extending away from a first surface of the body and oriented parallel to a second surface of the body;
• a retention arm defining a free end of the bracket body, the retention arm directed toward the first surface;
• and
• a female slot created in and oriented transverse to the first surface of the body;
• and
• a track member including:
• a frictional engagement portion received and frictionally engaged in the female slot of the body;
• and
• a track extending portion freely extending above the first surface of the body, the track extending portion and the first surface oriented at an angle with respect to an axis oriented transverse to a ground surface such that the first surface and the track extending portion are oriented at a continuous slope with respect to the ground surface.
