ABSTRACT:
An automatic article-laying apparatus is positioned at the terminal end of a horizontally rotatable conveyor. The apparatus comprises a rotatable roller conveyor, a hydraulic drive to horizontally rotate the roller conveyor, a traversing plate, and a reciprocating head. Placed adjacent to the first-mentioned conveyor, the roller conveyor is horizontally rotatable and carries an article holder that projects sidewards, below the plane on which articles are conveyed, so as to contact the side of the previously laid article. Positioned close and parallel to the roller conveyor, the traversing plate pushes an article away from the roller conveyor, at right angles to the direction of conveyor travel and toward the article holder. Extending along the roller conveyor and behind the article holder, the reciprocating head pushes forward the article delivered from the roller conveyor in the direction of conveyor travel. With this apparatus, hexahedral articles can be laid in an exactly geometrical pattern.
