ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for sequentially advancing a plurality of articles across a feed table to a work station includes an input station for receiving articles deposited on the feed table, a reciprocating pusher assembly adapted to engage and advance the articles across the feed table from the input station when driven in a forward direction and to disengage from the article when driven in reverse, and an air cylinder-piston drive mechanism for the pusher assembly whereby the length of stroke of the piston and the pusher assembly is selectively variable. The pusher assembly includes a plurality of removable pushers each of which is relocatable at varying intervals along the longitudinal axis of the pusher assembly, and a mechanism for laterally adjusting the position of the pusher assembly to maintain an in-line feed mode regardless of the width of the articles being advanced along the feed table.
