ABSTRACT:
A machine for counting flat articles includes a sequence of conveyor belts driven at successively increasing speeds from input to output. At the input end the articles are stacked and withdrawn from the stack from the bottom. A separator above the conveyor isolates the bodies from each other and spaces them, the spacing being increased by the increasing speed of the conveyors as the articles move toward the output end. The articles are counted by a photocell device or feeler. A receiver arranges the articles in a layered arrangement. Band-shaped resilient, curved clamping members are mounted on the separator to assure separation of articles of varying thicknesses, a first set of clamping members being mounted on the outside of the separator and curving in the direction of conveyance and a second set being mounted on the inside and curving in the direction of conveyance under the separator. An eccentric adjusts the curvature and tension of the first set of clamping members.
