ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for transferring parts moving serially along a first conveyor to parallel ranks on a second conveyor comprising a push bar for contacting and transferring the parts, a carriage for supporting the bar and a base for movably supporting the carriage. A first drive apparatus moves the bar from a starting position adjacent the first conveyor toward the second conveyor. A lifting apparatus raises the bar after the articles have been transferred from the first conveyor onto the second conveyor and maintains the bar in a raised position for at least a portion of its return to its starting position. The bar is mounted on a movable mounting apparatus so that the bar can move with respect to the carriage. A second drive apparatus is provided for moving the bar with respect to the carriage, the second drive apparatus including at least one drive arm for moving the bar mounting apparatus. The drive arm has a proximal end pivotally mounted on the carriage for movement about a vertical axis and a distal end pivotally connected to the movable mounting apparatus. The second drive apparatus further includes a portion for driving the drive arm pivotally on the carriage and for moving the carriage relative to the base.
