Tote for conveyor

Abstract

A tote for a conveyor system may include an upper part and a lower part. The upper part may define an upper, article-supporting surface. The article-supporting surface may be adapted to receive and support articles while the articles are conveyed in or on the tote. The lower part may define a lower, substantially plane bearing surface that extends over an area substantially equal to the article-supporting surface. The upper and lower parts may be transparent to X-rays. The upper and lower parts may be made from fire-retardant material. A plurality of support points and areas may be provided between the upper part and the lower part in order to transfer forces between the article-supporting surface and the bearing surface.

1 . A tote for a conveyor system comprising
 an upper part defining an upper, article-supporting surface being of concave cross-section,   a lower part defining a lower, substantially plane bearing surface that extends an area substantially equal to the article-supporting surface,   the upper part and the lower part being transparent to x-rays, and   wherein the upper part and the lower part together form a substantially closed, hollow body.
