ABSTRACT:
An article unscrambler which utilizes at least one elongated wall which is reciprocated back and forth in contact with the articles as the articles are moved in a large mass to a restricted width of articles for ensuring an orderly movement thereof. The reciprocating elongated wall is hung on the conventional rails extending over the conveyor system and is thin and flexible so as to reciprocate around corners. During the reciprocating motion, the bending or flexing action of the wall shifts along the length of the wall as the wall is reciprocated back and forth around the corner of the rail. Such prevents dead spots from forming on the table conveyor in the corner.
In one embodiment, a pair of opposed reciprocating walls are utilized which are shifted in synchronism in opposite direction so as to rotate the articles wedged therebetween in opposite directions to prevent jamming of the articles therebetween.
