Description
The equipment in question was a "hookless conveyor" which served to pull automobiles through the car wash. At the end of the conveyor unit, the rollers which aided in pulling the cars through the production line would drop below ground level and return to the beginning of the conveyor unit. Due to the size of the rollers, an opening in the floor at the end of the conveyor unit was necessary to permit the rollers to drop down to the lower level to begin the return trip. This opening was covered by a "pivoted safety hood" which swung down to permit the car tires to pass over the opening and then swung back to cover the opening after the tire had passed over. The hood was designed so that it could not be moved to expose the opening by a person standing on top of it, but could only be actuated by a horizontal force from the direction of the conveyor, such as that exerted by the wheel of a car being pulled through the process.
