ABSTRACT:
A product switching mechanism, located downstream of a rotary shear for rod and bar product, includes first structure defining a horizontally elongate chamber with a top, bottom and one side wall, the chamber being open at the side opposite the one side wall, the chamber having one end remote from the rotary shear and another end adjacent the rotary shear with the one end being open; a second structure defining a substantially flat vertical surface closing the open side of the chamber and providing first and second substantially horizontal passages; the first passage is enclosed above, below and on either side and has a downstream opening and an upstream opening, the second passage having an upstream opening vertically adjacent the upstream opening of the first passage, the second passage opening through the surface of the second structure and having a side wall angling toward the surface as it extends away from the upstream opening of the second passage, so that product entering the upstream opening of the second passage is guided toward the first structure, the second structure being selectively movable with respect to the first to a position which is such that product moving in the second passage is guided into the chamber.
