ABSTRACT:
Oblong pads are fed horizontally on an input conveyor with their long axes pointed in the direction of movement. A support plate on a rotationally driven shaft carries several equiangularly spaced swinging levers having a long arm on one side of the swing axis and a short arm on the other. Followers on the short arms engage a stationary cam whose profile surrounds the shaft. As the levers revolve, the cam positions them so they meet incoming oblong pads squarely and sweep them around so their minor axes are pointed in the direction of movement as they drop onto an output conveyor which moves them in parallelism with the line of the input conveyor.
