ABSTRACT:
Cylindrical bodies 12 are brought into end-to-end relationship on a conveyor 30 (FIG. 7) by means of a second conveyor 42 running at a different speed, which may be greater than or less than the speed of conveyor 30. The conveyor 42 serves to flip misorientated bodies (see FIGS. 6C, 6D) into an orientation in which their axes are parallel to the feed direction C of the conveyor 30. A modified arrangement (FIG. 10) is described for bodies with length to diameter ratios of the order of 0.8:1. Other handling devices are also described for effecting single streaming of bodies starting from a randomly distributed array (FIG. 1), for separating bodies of different sizes from each other (FIGS. 2 and 3) and for transferring bodies from one conveyor to another (FIGS. 4 and 5).
