ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for facilitating the interfacing between indexing motion and continuous motion machines wherein interfacing structure is provided by a continuous motion interfacing loop conveyor which is operatively interposed between the discharge end of an indexing conveyor of the intermittent motion machine and an article-receiving end of a continually advancing receiving conveyor of the continuous motion machine. The interfacing loop conveyor has a reciprocatory or oscillating motion component superimposed on the continuous advance thereof proximate the article-discharging end of the indexing conveyor so as to correlate the relative speeds between the advance of the interfacing conveyor and that of the indexing conveyor end from which the articles of manufacture are transferred to the interfacing conveyor so as to produce a uniform transfer of the articles to the interfacing conveyor, and a continuous advance of the articles to the receiving conveyor of the continuous motion machine.
