ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for transferring solid articles such as biscuits, without changing their position or spacing, between an upstream machine discharging the articles at a constant speed for a downstream machine having a higher rated speed with short dwells. The articles are fed from the upstream machine to a first linear conveyor and a second, parallel linear conveyor feeds in the opposite direction the articles towards the downstream machine. A circular turntable or semicircular conveyor has a semicircular path of movement between the first and second conveyors for transferring the articles therebetween. The turntable or semicircular conveyor is mounted for translation on a carriage parallel to the first and second conveyors. The translatory speed of the turntable or semicircular conveyor is equal to one-half the difference of the displacement speeds of the first and second conveyors and the rotational speed of the turntable or semicircular conveyor is such that the tangential speed thereof is equal to one-half the sum of the displacement speeds of the first and second conveyors.
