More Information
Summary:Apparatus is disclosed for arranging articles which are continuously fed in a straight line condition on a feed conveyor into a staggered or zig-zag condition on a receiving conveyor while transferring the articles onto the receiving conveyor in a direction perpendicular to the advancing direction of the feed conveyor. The apparatus comprises a movable arm reciprocating in the direction of movement of the receiving conveyor, a sliding frame slidable in a direction perpendicular to the movement of the arm and having a feeding plate for pushing the articles from the feed conveyor onto the receiving conveyor, and means for driving the sliding frame to slide it with respect to the movement of the movable arm so that it cyclically feeds a predetermined number of articles from the feed conveyor onto the receiving conveyor.
