ABSTRACT:
Spacer strips are positioned between vertically adjacent layers of timber in timber packages by locating a plurality of spacer strips which are supported by distribution members over the topmost layer of a timber package whereupon a plurality of depressors which are operatively associated with a frame structure are moved downwardly from an upper position so that respective depressors engage respective spacer strips supported by the distribution members so as to conduct and guide the strips downwardly into position upon the topmost layer of the timber package while the distribution members which support the strips are at the same time withdrawn from their supporting positions. According to the invention, the depressors are arranged in a manner such that as the depressors move downwardly subsequent to engaging respective spacer strips, the frame structure with which the depressors are associated remains substantially stationary and, additionally, the downward motion of the depressors comprises a free fall preferably accomplished by providing a sliding fit of the depressors in the frame structure.
