ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus to lift, transfer and position penetrable stock such as resin, fabric, and filled or laminated material by impalement. One or more spearhead elements are driven through the penetrable material. The spears are turned axially and lifted to lift the penetrable material with the spears and present it to a work surface whereupon the spear is again turned or rotated, aligning the barbs or flukes so that a stripper plate easily strips the stock from the spearheads and onto a suitable work surface such as a die. The apparatus comprises one or more quills and each supports a harpoon-like spearhead in an adjustable support. A stripper plate in clearance relation with respect to the flukes of the spearhead is movable independently of the spearhead so that when the spearhead mimicks its entry postion, the stripper plate moves in the direction of the spearhead and forces the penetrable stock off of the harpoon points or spearheads and onto a work surface. The spearhead elements and stripper may be restricted to reciprocal movement such as up and down movement so that templets bearing the stock and dies receiving the stock are movable in a shuttle fashion to unload and load position beneath the spearheads or the spearheads and stripper structure may be movable laterally to a pick-up station and then laterally to a discharge or die loading station where the work surface receives the penetrable stock.
