ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for orienting flat articles having straight edges such that a long edge of the article is brought into or retained in contact with the bottom surface of a transport path. The apparatus comprises an upwardly open, U-shaped transport path and at least one member disposed above the U-shaped transport path by a predetermined distance and having a surface in a plane generally perpendicular to the bottom of the U-shaped transport path and oriented at an acute angle to the flow of flat articles in the U-shaped transport path. In the preferred embodiment, the bottom of the U-shaped transport path is an upwardly inclined conveyor, and a plurality of the members are positioned along the U-shaped transport path at angles which alternate in sense.
