ABSTRACT:
Repetitive-cycle object handling apparatus which includes, in combination, a feed station for accommodating a stack of slab-like objects of regular geometry, which are subjected to a feed force acting in the longitudinal direction thereof; a utilization station where objects fed seriatim from the feed station may be made to dwell before being moved on; a storage station for stacking one object at a time after the object has dwelled at the utilization station for a predetermined time interval; object transfer apparatus for sliding out a leading object from the stack at the feed station to the utilization station and, at the end of the predetermined time interval, to move the object on to the storage station; an object stacking ramp for guiding an object leaving the utilization station toward a stacking attitude at the storage station under the action of the object transfer apparatus; and preferably the apparatus further includes an object fulcrum disposed downstream of the object stacking ramp for enabling an object to be swung therearound to said stacking attitude under the action of a bias force after the bias force has first been overcome by the transfer apparatus and a sufficient portion of the object has progressed beyond the fulcrum.
