ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for placing out spacer sticks on a board stack (1) comprises a feeder device (5) for the individual discharge of spacer sticks (3). The feeder device (5) is placed in association with one short end of the stack (1). Further, the apparatus has a conveyor device which is located above the stack (1) for conveying spacer sticks (3) from the feeder device (5) to positions over the stack (1). At least those parts of the conveyor device which are located under the spacer sticks (3) are disposed to be movable in the lateral direction between advancement positions over the stack (1) and release positions outside the stack. As a result, the spacer sticks (3) are movable from position over the stack (1) to positions where they rest on the stack (1). A method for placing spacer sticks on a board stack is also disclosed.
