Abstract:

An inventory handling apparatus for transferring inventory items from an inventory bin onto a conveyer includes a rotatable member with a conveyance assembly mounted inside.

The inverted inventory bin is moved onto a conveyor and the inventory bin lifted thereby leaving the inventory items on the conveyor.
