ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for receiving successive bars moving longitudinally along an entry path and for laterally transferring the bars from the entry path to a braking path. The apparatus comprises a run in table having a plurality of rollers arranged to convey the bars along the entry path. A braking surface is arranged between the run in table and the braking path. The braking surface and the rollers of the run in table lie in a reference plane sloping downwardly from the entry path to the braking path. A dividing wall is arranged between the run in table and the braking surface. The dividing wall is adjustable between a raised position projecting above the reference plane to block lateral downward movement of bars from the entry path across the braking surface to the braking path, and a lowered position accommodating such downward movement. A switch is positioned in advance of the dividing wall. The switch has a plurality of guide channels arranged around a common axis. The switch is positioned to successively align individual guide channels with the entry path to thereby direct bars passing therethrough along the entry path while the dividing wall is in its raised position, and is rotatable about its axis to successively realign the individual guide channels with the braking path to thereby direct bars passing therethrough to and along the braking path when the dividing wall is in its lowered position.
