ABSTRACT:
A device for pushing objects lying end to end on an endless conveyor from the conveyor one at a time, including two parallel discs arranged on top of each other and with axes of rotation spaced apart in a vertical plane. A number of pins situated at equal distances from each other being pivotally secured in the upper disc as equal distances from its center, with a second set of pins being connected to the lower disc at the same radial distance from its center and with connecting members connecting the lower ends of the first set of pins to the upper ends of the second set of pins. Each pin of the second set of pins carrying at its lower end a push plate having a length shorter than the length of the objects to be pushed off. The discs overlap the conveyor in such a manner that when the discs are rotated the push plates will brush over the conveyor over a distance at least equal to the width b of the objects, while the radial distance between each pin and the center of the discs exceeds (4b.sup.2 +1.sup.2)/8b.
