<p>An automatic gate means for mounting over a conveyor means provides for the collecting and aligning of the movement of side-by-side pieces of thin veneer-type materials, such as thin wood veneers from a veneer dryer. The lifting and lowering of the gate means over the conveyor belt is operated responsive to the feed means to the conveyor means, or to the dryer, such that the gate lifting awaits the alignment of a full-width charge of a plurality of pieces on the conveyor. A preferred design and operation incorporates a "dead" roller which lifts and lowers opposite to the movement of the gate so as to insure the positive and rapid movement of veneer pieces from the conveyor, particularly from an upwardly sloping conveyor means.</p> |
