Abstract: A log singulator and associated method for conveying and controllably discharging logs are provided. The singulator has a plurality of rotatable lifters with outwardly-extending arm members that contact the logs with a leading side to convey the logs to successive positions, for example, along a log cradle structure. The logs are conveyed to a discharge surface, which can be disposed at a declined angle so that the logs thereon tend to roll toward a discharge position. Discharge lifters, which are configured to discharge the logs from the discharge surface, have arm members that define angled cam surfaces on their trailing sides. The cam surfaces contact and retain the logs on the discharge surface until the logs reach the predetermined discharge position. Thus, the logs can be controllably discharged, for example, at a desired time.

Abstract: This invention provides log singulators which allow for the vertical singulation of piles of logs fed from typical in-feed log decks, so that these logs may be fed individually to typical out-feed conveyors. Devices provided by this invention may be high-speed singulators occupying minimal floor space area. Singulators provided by this invention comprise arcuately oscillating lifting devices (“primary lifting devices”), preferably rotating synchronously in opposite directions. Preferably, these singulators elevate logs against vertically successive barriers. These barriers are shaped so that only one of either a largest log or a smallest log, which it is expected that the singulator should handle, can rest on the primary lifting devices and be carried upward at a time. As a result, the lower section of these barriers is shaped in a manner that does not allow two smallest logs to rest side by side on the primary lifting devices, but allows a single smallest or a single largest (or any single log within the range) to rest on the primary lifting devices and be raised upward. Singulators provided by this invention may also comprise an unloading station, which receives the logs from the primary lifting devices and directs them to the out-feed conveyor.

Abstract: The invention is an automatic, unmanned, powered, variable speed transfer table for a finger joint machine which receives a controlled supply of blocks from a lineal block feeder The slat chain is composed of two chain loops, connected at regular, equal intervals by slats. The slat chain pushes blocks over an even ending conveyor which aligns them to the inside of one of the chains and then over a moisture detecting system. Blocks containing unacceptable moisture fall through a gap in the working table while blocks with acceptable moisture are pushed by the slats over a door covering the gap and onto an outfeed table. The slats are synchronized to the lugs on the finger joint machine's lug chain and deposit correctly aligned and orientated blocks precisely on the lug chain. The slat chain then rotates upward and loops back over the working table and then down, under the infeed conveyor to re-emerge at the even ending conveyor. 1 InventorStibbard; James S.

Abstract: An ending apparatus for positioning elongate objects comprising, in combination, object singulating equipment for separating a plurality of elongate objects in an inlet area into single objects while moving the objects in a first direction to an outlet area, and object support rollers intermediate the inlet and outlet area for supporting a separated, single elongate object. The object support rollers are adapted to move the elongate object in a second direction toward a reference surface independently of the object's movement in the first direction on the singulating device. The reference surface stops movement of the elongate object to establish a pre-determined position for the elongate object. Establishing the position of the object permits more efficient handling during further processing.

Abstract: An apparatus for sorting and separating logs allows logs to be fed individually for further processing. The log sorter has a rotating quadrant which is covered and has no gaps or apertures that allows logs or branches to become jammed. Furthermore, the rotating quadrant raises the logs above a first holding location. The apparatus includes a movable quadrant with a shelf at a top edge to support at least one log, the movable quadrant moves a log up to a second holding position over a fixed quadrant having radial fins extending through slots in the shelf of the movable quadrant so the fins push a log to the outside of the shelf as the movable quadrant raises it. A transfer feeder comprising a series of rotatable discs with aligned notches, transfers a log from the second holding position to an exit.

Abstract: A log handling installation has a device for dosing transversely extending logs which are moved one by one. The device includes pairs of lifters for raising the logs. One of the lifters of each pair is of larger size than the other lifter of the same pair and has a threshold against which the logs are fed. The lower surface of the other lifter is also shaped to form a threshold. When the other lifter is turned to its lifting position its threshold is closer to the arriving logs than the threshold of the first lifter.

Abstract: Timber in many cases is fed in its longitudinal direction by contact with jags on a driven roll. In certain cases the roll can be built up of plates carrying the jags and extending in the longitudinal direction of the roll. According to the invention, these plates can be rockingly mounted about axles in parallel with the roll axle, so that always two adjacent plates can adjust themselves to be on the same plane, thereby doubling the drive force compared with the conventional arrangement with stationary plates and reducing the tendency of sliding.

Abstract: A feeding apparatus for propelling blocks, such as logs, from a moving conveyor or a stationary rack loaded with such logs. A single spike roll or a pair of spike rolls are moved against a log momentarily to flick the log in the direction of roll rotation. The momentary frictional engagement of the spiked roll against the top of the log is greater than the sliding friction of the log against the conveyor or the logs therebelow, so as to separate the log from its support.
