ABSTRACT:
A discharge and transfer apparatus for adjacent separated, objects, such as logs of interfolded sheets discharged from an interfolder, and for supplying the logs of sheets sequentially to downstream processing equipment, such as a packaging or wrapping mechanism for applying packaging or wrapping material about each log of sheets. The discharge and transfer apparatus includes an advancing mechanism for moving the logs of sheets in a forward direction at a location downstream of the discharge area of the interfolder, and a guide mechanism, such as a series of curved guide rails, which are operable to position the logs such that the logs are moved in a generally vertical direction toward a transfer area by operation of the advancement mechanism. At the transfer area, the logs of sheets are moved upwardly between a pair of movable discharge members, which may be in the form of facing runs of a pair of discharge belts, and the discharge belts are selectively operable to propel the uppermost log of sheets laterally in a lengthwise direction along a longitudinal axis defined by the uppermost log of sheets. The uppermost log of sheets is supplied directly to the inlet area of the downstream processing equipment.
