摘要： Apparatus for handling biscuits comprises a pair of identical devices for separating and holding back advanced supplies of the biscuits, which are arranged in rows, in contiguous, upright relationship, within laterally-spaced supply channels. The rows of biscuits are converted into a single row by a chute which is periodically movable sideways, to a position at the outlet end of one of the channels while the biscuit supply in the other channel is held back by a separating member comprising a "finger" movable towards and upwardly away from the path of the advanced supply of biscuits by a piston and cylinder assembly operable so that, only upward movement of a separating member takes place as positive motion, whereas the downward movement of the member is such that it is free, pausing in its movement if necessary, to make entry into the supply in a yieldable manner.

摘要： A sequencing drop chute apparatus receives a batch of electrical components and feeds them one at a time to a single line conveyor. The sequencing drop chute apparatus includes a support frame with an inclined surface attached to the support frame. A plurality of walls extend upward from an upper portion of the inclined surface and divide the upper portion of the inclined surface into a plurality of chutes. There is at least one chute for each electrical component of a batch of electrical components. A camshaft is rotatingly mounted upon the frame and includes a plurality of eccentric cams one of which is operably associated with each of the chutes for periodically blocking and periodically opening each of the chutes. The cams are arranged so that the plurality of chutes are opened one at a time thereby permitting the batch of electrical components to pass one at a time through the drop chute apparatus to the conveyor.

摘要： Embodiments of a product orientor include a turner conveyor that defines conveying plan and direction for a product received thereon and that has an initial orientation relative to the conveying direction. The initial orientation is determined by a vision system that is positioned upstream from the turner conveyor. The turner conveyor is rotatable about an axis that is perpendicular to the conveying plan between a conveying orientation, wherein the product is in the initial orientation, and a rectifying orientation, wherein the product is in a predetermined orientation relative to the conveying orientation. The product orientor further includes pressure plates that are movable between a retracted configuration and a holding configuration wherein the product is maintained in the predetermined orientation while the turner conveyor is moved from the rectifying orientation to the initial conveying orientation.

摘要： An improved stopping mechanism is provided for a conveyor that accepts one or more streams of product input and converts the one or more streams to a format that is suitable for automatic loading to a subsequent machine, wherein a stack of slices must be temporarily stopped on the conveyor while moving. The stopping mechanism includes a lower stop having a lower stack-engaging portion and a lift portion, the lift portion selectively actuatable to elevate the lower stack-engaging portion to engage a bottom surface of the stack and to lift the stack above the conveying surface. The stopping mechanism further includes an upper stop having an upper stack-engaging portion and a lowering portion, the lowering portion selectively actuatable to lower the upper stack-engaging portion to engage an upper surface of the stack.

摘要： The invention relates to an apparatus for continuously grouping or marshalling objects (1) together on a conveyor. The conveyor is divided into a first (2) and a second (3) conveyor section, where the second conveyor section (3) has a higher speed than the first conveyor section (2). The conveyor sections (2, 3) have a common plane (4) on which the objects (1) are advanced. The conveyor sections (2, 3) each have two bending rollers (6, 7, 10, 11) in the common plane (4), of which each having a bending roller (6, 7) lying placed closely adjacent one another. Between the rollers (6, 7) placed adjacent one another, theme is disposed an arrest memeber (18). The arrest member (18) is movable through 90o in relation to the common plane (4). The arrest member (18) is moreover, together with the bending rollers (6,7), laterally displaceable along the common plane (4).
