ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for adjusting the intervals between soft objects being conveyed comprises the combination of a member provided with a plurality of slits parallel to the direction of movement of the objects and a rotating shaft positioned underneath said member at right angles to the direction of movement of the objects. The shaft is provided with a plurality of flanges thereabout. This combination is positioned between a feed conveyor and a receiving conveyor and the flanges are arranged to reciprocate through the slits of the member between a position where the upper ends of the flanges are elevated above the upper surface of the member and a position where the upper ends of said flanges are lowered below the upper surface of said member, thereby adjusting the intervals between objects transferred to the receiving conveyor as desired. The feed conveyor may be arranged to be operated intermittently so as to ensure transfer of only one object per cycle of the rotating shaft.
