ABSTRACT:
A machine for stacking bundles of signatures and like products supplied in a continuous flow with their backs oriented in the same direction is provided by this invention. The machine comprises a support frame, a substantially horizontal endless conveyor supported by the frame having an input end for supplying the products to be stacked and an output end of loading the stacked products, and a platform for rotating an individual product. The platform is mounted rotatably on the frame about a vertical axis passing through the conveyor, and is translatable along the axis between a lowered position of substantial alignment with the plane of the conveyor, and a raised position in which the products on the conveyor can pass beneath the platform. The platform effects cyclically a raising from the conveyor of a product supply to the conveyor, rotating the raised product about the vertical axis so as to orient the back of this raised product in a direction diametrically opposed to that of its supply to the conveyor, and deposits the product with the oppositely-oriented back on the conveyor. The platform provides a horizontal support which supports said product over substantially the entire horizontal plane of said product. The machine allows stable stacks to be formed and has the qualities of speed and precision in operation, as well as high reliability and simple construction.
