Abstract: A conveyor transfer apparatus (100) is disclosed for transferring stacks of product, such as tortillas, from multiple rows on a multiple-row conveyor (90) in a single row onto a single-row conveyor (150). The single-row conveyor is disposed adjacent to, and oriented transversely to the multiple-row conveyor. A plurality of retractable fork members (110) extends from a backstop (130) to the first conveyor to receive a stack. When a stack is delivered to a retractable fork member and is ready for transfer, an elevator member (160) extends upwardly from the single-row conveyor towards a fork member. The fork member retracts, depositing the stack on the elevator member. The elevator member then retracts to the second conveyor, depositing the stack thereon. In a disclosed embodiment, the elevator member includes a plurality of parallel, spaced, vertical panels (162) that extends between adjacent conveyor belts (152) on the single-row conveyor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a commodity carrying-out apparatus of an automatic vending machine capable of reliably carrying out a commodity one by one without causing falling down or clinging of the commodities, and efficiently housing even commodities having no definite shape. According to the present invention, the commodities in the commodity column can be supported by the commodity supporting members, and therefore even when the commodity carried out of the commodity column falls down or is changed in its posture, the following commodity does not fall down due to the carried-out commodity. Since the commodity supporting members each exist between the commodities, clinging of the commodities to each other does not occur. As a result, the commodities can be reliably carried out one by one. Even the commodities having no definite shape, which cannot be self-sustained in a vertical orientation, can be housed in the vertical orientation by being supported respectively by the commodity supporting members.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in production line of foodstuff and other goods which sorts pieces of goods, such as biscuits, continuously supplied, into groups of a predetermined number of pieces each at predetermined intervals. The transfer speed of pieces on an upstream transport path is set to a predetermined constant speed, and the transport speed of pieces at the sorting section is controlled according to a velocity profile consisting of alternately successive cycles of a low speed zone and a high speed zone. Thus, by utilizing the speed difference between the low speed zone and the high speed zone, groups of a specified number of pieces each are formed on the transport plane of the sorting section, and a predetermined interval is provided between adjacent groups of pieces.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming consecutive groups of face-to-face stacked, flat articles includes an input conveyor for advancing the articles arranged in a flat-lying orientation and in a column of indeterminate length; a downwardly curving track arranged for receiving the articles from the input conveyor; a stock-forming device arranged for performing stacking steps by consecutively taking articles from the track and moving each article onto a trough into a face-to-face engagement with an outermost article of a group being under formation on the trough. There is provided a stepping motor connected to the stack-forming device for operating it in steps; a sensor arranged upstream of the stack-forming device responds to a passage of each article on the track. The sensor is connected to the stepping motor to operate it when the sensor responds. When the group has reached a predetermined number of articles or length, a mechanism discharges the group from the trough into a receptacle.
