ABSTRACT:
Absorbent pads passing along a feed path advance first on an infeed conveyor at a first pitch and a first velocity, then on an outfeed conveyor at a second pitch and a second velocity. The transfer from infeed to outfeed is effected by means of a head disposed between the two conveyors, rotatable about a vertical axis and carrying at least one handler unit equipped with a suction cup coupled to an epicyclic train inside the head and made to orbit around the axis following a looped trajectory; the head also comprises a cam and rocker mechanism operating in conjunction with a lever mechanism by which the suction cup is lowered and raised in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation when passing through points at which the pads are picked up from the infeed conveyor and released onto the outfeed conveyor, respectively. Being adjustable, the cam and rocker mechanism also provides means by which to vary the positions of the pickup point and the release point.
