ABSTRACT:
A lumber sorter is provided for sorting aligned, side-by-side pieces of lumber. The sorter includes: (1) apparatus for driving fewer than all of the pieces along a first path of travel, while driving the remaining pieces along a second path of travel, the second path being vertically divergent with respect to the first path; and (2) laterally extending support apparatus for receiving and supporting the pieces which are driven along the first path of travel. The invention may alternatively be defined as a lumber edging picker conveyor adapted to receive boards and adjacent edgings from a lumber edger having a plurality of edger saws. The lumber edging picker conveyor includes: (1) apparatus for driving the boards along a first path of travel, while driving the edgings along a second path of travel, the second path being vertically divergent with respect to the first path; and (2) laterally extending support apparatus for receiving the boards from the driving apparatus and for supporting the boards in the first path of travel.
