ABSTRACT:
A disc turnover device is mounted along a conveyor which supports discs in a flat horizontal position and carries the discs along a horizontal path.The turnover device includes a pair of wheels mounted on opposite sides of the conveyor for rotation about a common axis perpendicular to the path of the conveyor. Each wheel has a plurality of circumferentially spaced pickup arms pivotally mounted at one end on the wheel for pivotation toward and away from the conveyor. Each arm on one wheel is in parallel opposed relation with an arm on the other wheel to provide a plurality of opposed arms. A spring urges each arm toward the conveyor and caming projections move the arm away from the conveyor at selected positions along its path of rotation. A pickup head is mounted on each arm and is slidable longitudinally along the arm. Each head has fingers for engaging and holding the edge of a disc.
