ABSTRACT:
A push-on type lumber stacker utilizes a pivotal conveyor for receiving boards from a bulk supply and discharging complete courses of boards onto a lumber stack. The discharge end of the conveyor pivots upwardly in correspondence with the increasing height of the stack. The pivotal conveyor incorporates a plurality of automatically actuated stick holders which hold the stacking sticks as runners during formation of each course and then release the sticks to serve as course spacers in the stack. A plurality of chain-mounted discs on the conveyor assist in pushing the boards onto the stacking sticks and, in conjunction with other auxiliary apparatus, enable one course of boards to be built up on the conveyor while another course is held ready for discharge.
