ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a workpiece loader which loads workpieces onto a continuously moving conveyor of a type frequently used in manufacturing factory environments. The workpiece loader is comprised of a short length endless belt which is intermittently moved to stack workpieces against a movable fence. Movement of the movable fence is coordinated with motion of the loader belt to enable groups of workpieces to be placed on the conveyor as desired. A first embodiment discloses the workpiece loader belt travelling in a direction perpendicular to the continuously moving conveyor, whereas the second embodiment discloses such belts moving in parallel directions.
