A carton is provided for displaying balls. The has top, bottom, front, back, and side walls. The top and bottom walls have openings therein sized and shaped to engage the ball substantially along the full circumference of the holes. Additionally, the carton includes interior braces, preferably at the four corners of the box. The ends of the braces have curved edges, the curvature of which correspond to the curvature of the ball, such that the ends of the braces contact the ball substantially along the full length of the braces. The braces preferably urge the ball upwardly (or downwardly) to urge the ball against the edge of the hole in the top (or bottom) wall. The size and shape of the braces and of the holes allow for a frictional engagement of the ball by the carton to reduce the possibility of unassisted movement of the ball relative to the carton. Additionally, the blank from which the carton is formed allows for the carton to be formed easily, quickly, and without the use of glue, staples, or other fastening means.

The transfer assembly is adapted to move the transfer belt such that the length of the transfer belt changes less than one-quarter of an inch when moved between its non-transferring position and its transferring position. herethrough and having an upper surface; wherein apertures through at least one of the first and second pluralities of hinge elements are elongated in the direction of belt travel; intermediate structure from which the first and second pluralities of hinge elements extend in opposite directions; and a product support platform attached to the intermediate structure and defining a generally continuous conveying surface elevated relative to the upper surfaces of the first and second pluralities of binge elements with a gap formed between the product support platform and the upper surfaces of the first plurality of binge elements; a plurality of binge pins; wherein the first plurality of hinge elements of each row are interleaved with the second plurality of hinge elements of an adjacent row wit the apertures aligned to form passageways between adjacent rows for receiving hinge pins that pivotably connect adjacent rows into a conveyor belt. 12. A modular conveyor belt as in claim 11 wherein the product support platform includes a recessed edge extending from the conveying surface downward to the upper surfaces of the second plurality of hinge elements and wherein the recessed edge along one row is received in the gap of an adjacent row to allow the conveyor belt to collapse at the inside of a turn without interference between the product support platforms of adjacent rows. 13. A modular conveyor belt as in claim 11 wherein the product support platform includes a tapered edge extending from the conveying surface downward to the upper surfaces of the second plurality of hinge elements and an extension of the conveying surface extending over the first plurality of hinge elements and including a distal edge tapered to mate with the tapered edge of an adjacent row in overlapping relationship in a collapsed condition of the conveyor belt. 14. A modular conveyor belt as in claim 11 wherein upper surfaces of the first plurality of hinge elements are non-coplanar wit upper surfaces of the second plurality of binge elements. 15. A nodular conveyor belt suitable for following curved paths, the conveyor belt comprising: a series of rows of belt modules, each row including: at least one belt module extending from a first end to a second end in the direction of belt travel and including: a first plurality of hinge elements disposed along the first end and forming first aligned apertures therethrough; a second plurality of hinge elements disposed along the second end and forming second aligned apertures therethrough; wherein apertures through at least one of the first and second pluralities of hinge elements are elongated in the direction of belt travel; intermediate structure from which the first and second pluralities of binge elements extend in opposite directions; and a product support platform attached to the intermediate structure and including a first edge overlying the first plurality of hinge elements across a gap and an opposite recessed second edge extending onto the second plurality of hinge elements and contoured to receive the first edge of an adjacent row; a plurality of hinge pins; wherein the first plurality of hinge elements of each row are interleaved with the second plurality of hinge elements of an adjacent row wit the apertures aligned to form passageways between adjacent rows for receiving hinge pins tat pivotably connect adjacent rows into a conveyor belt. 16. A conveyor belt module comprising: a first plurality of hinge elements forming aligned apertures defining a lateral passageway trough the first plurality of hinge elements; a second plurality of hinge elements forming aligned apertures defining a lateral passageway through the second plurality of hinge elements; intermediate structure from which the first plurality of hinge elements extends toward a first end of the module and from which a second plurality of hinge elements extends toward an opposite second end of the module; a produc t support platform attached to the intermediate structure, the product support platform including: a conveying surface elevated relative to the hinge elements and having an overhang extending the conveying surface above the first plurality of hinge elements across a gap. 17. A conveyor belt module as in claim 16 wherein the product support platform is supported on the second plurality of hinge elements and on the intermediate structure. 18. A conveyor belt module as in claim 16 wherein the product support platform forms a generally rectangular conveying surface. 19. A conveyor belt module as in claim 16 wherein the product support platform includes opposite first and second edges in a nonlinear edge pattern. 20. A conveyor belt module as in claim 16 wherein the product support platform includes a recessed edge opposite the overhang across the conveying surface.
