ABSTRACT:
A stack storage elevator for sliced, stacked comestible products includes a frame assembly disposed adjacent to a roller conveyor interposed in a conveyor delivering stacked slices to a packaging apparatus. A pair of vertically spaced sprocket wheels are secured to the frame to support an endless chain loop, one half of the loop traversing a vertically extending guide channel in the frame assembly. A plurality of elevator platform assemblies are provided, each secured to a link of the chain loop and arrayed in spaced, stacked relationship thereabout. Each elevator platform assembly includes a plurality of tines extending in parallel relationship from a pivot shaft joined to the respective chain link. The tines, which are disposed to define a platform adapted to support a stack of sliced comestible product, are spaced to interdigitate with the rollers of the conveyor. Each platform supports one stack of acceptable weight and conformation; the chain mechanism is advanced incrementally to drive a platform downwardly to deposit a stack on the rollers of the conveyor whenever a vacant spot appears on the conveyor.
