ABSTRACT:
To transport and turn compressible paper products, such as toilet paper rolls, kitchen towels and the like, a plurality of such products are received, lying flat, on an L-shaped receiver (4) which pivots to stand them on end and moves in translatory direction towards a removal transport apparatus, the translatory movement being guided by guide rods (8) and the pivoting or tilting movement of the receiver being controlled by an engagement element, such as a pin or pins (14) engaging a guide track or tracks (13) so that the receiver will pivot as it is moved in translatory direction. Preferably, the receiver surfaces (4a, 4b) are formed in comb, fork or tine structure, to interdigit with support structures from which the goods are received and to which they are delivered. The guide track itself is movable, for example by a cylinder-piston system (15) synchronized with translatory movement of the receiver to provide for gentle acceleration and deceleration of the receiver when it is carrying products, and abrupt return movement and re-tilting to a receiving position for pick-up of a subsequent group of products.
