ABSTRACT:
A stacker for horizontally stacking a group of roughly round, generally flat shaped, irregularly dimensioned items, such as English muffins, doughnuts and the like types of baked goods, said stacker including a horizontally extending frame formed of opposite side and bottom wire-like elements for supporting the items on their edges, i.e., horizontally axially aligned. A piston is arranged between the elements for applying a horizontally axially directed force to the stack of items from one direction towards the opposite, item loading, end of the frame. A swinging barrier located at the loading end of the frame forms a stop to hold the stack against the force of the piston. A pivoting loading arm arranged at the loading end of the frame receives the items, one by one, in a horizontal position and pivots each item into vertical position and upon the loading end of the frame, causing the barrier to momentarily swing out of the way during the loading, so that the barrier may swing down to act as a stop for the most recently added item. The bottom element may be moved to thereby release the items and cause them to gravity drop as complete stack.
