ABSTRACT:
Elongated articles are randomly received through the open top of a housing in which an inclined disc is rotatably mounted. The disc has a circumferential edge adjacent the housing and the edge defines equidistantly spaced openings capable of permitting article to pass therethrough into shafts associated therewith and descending therefrom. A stationary annular support plate is mounted in a plane immediately below the plane of the disc and in registry with the openings, the support plate defining an opening at the zenith of the disc for permitting communication between a respective one of the openings in the circumferential disc edge and the shaft associated therewith. This shaft has a perpendicular axis whereby the randomly received articles gravitate to the nadir of the disc, are revolved by the rotating disc to the zenith while supported in the openings on the annular support plate and pass sequentially through the opening at the zenith into the shaft while being erected therein. A horizontal elongated conveyor receives the sequentially erected articles from the shaft at the zenith and transports them in alignment away from the shaft.
