ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for shifting objects from a first conveyor to a container transferred by a second conveyor. The apparatus includes a holder guide, a displacing mechanism for moving the holder guide, a plurality of holders carried by the holder guide and spaced from each other for receiving the objects from the first conveyor. The holders are movable on the holder guide. A pitch changing mechanism is mounted for selectively causing the holders to move on the holder guide in response to the movement of the holder guide. A discharging mechanism causes the holders to discharge the received objects into the container. The pitch changing mechanism includes a first cam arranged adjacent to at least one of the holders for selectively causing the one of the holders to move on the holder guide. The pitch changing mechanism further includes a second cam held in contact with the first cam for positionally adjusting the first cam.
