<p>THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD OF PROCESSING LOGS (12) BY MEANS OF AN APPARATUS, WHICH APPARATUS (1) COMPRISES A TRANSPORTATION LEVEL (2) EXTENDING ESSENTIALLY IN THE ADVANCING DIRECTION (P) OF THE LOGS, OVER WHICH THE LOGS ARE ARRANGED TO BE TRANSPORTED IN A POSITION SUBSTANTIALLY PERPENDICULAR TO THEIR ADVANCING DIRECTION (P), AND WHICH TRANSPORTATION LEVEL (2) IS PROVIDED WITH ORIFICE MEMBERS (20) GOING THERETHROUGH AND EXTENDING ESSENTIALLY IN THE ADVANCING DIRECTION (P) OF THE LOGS. IN THE METHOD, AT LEAST TWO SUPPORT MEMBER UNITS (28) SPACED FROM EACH OTHER ARE ARRANGED BELOW THE TRANSPORTATION LEVEL (2) IN AN ESSENTIALLY PERPENDICULAR DIRECTION IN RESPECT OF THE ADVANCING DIRECTION (P) OF THE LOGS (12), WHEREBY EACH SUPPORT MEMBER UNIT (28) IN EACH CASE COMPRISES AT LEAST ONE ELONGATED SUPPORT MEMBER (8), WHICH IS ARRANGED ROTATABLY AROUND AN AXIS OF ROTATION (6) ESSENTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE TRANSPORTATION LEVEL (2) AND ESSENTIALLY PERPENDICULAR IN RESPECT OF THE ADVANCING DIRECTION (P) OF THE LOGS AND PROTRUDING THEREFROM, AND SAID AXIS OF ROTATION (6) OF EACH SUPPORT MEMBER UNIT (28) IS ADAPTED IN RESPECT OF THE AXIS OF ROTATION (6) SO THAT WHEN ROTATING AROUND THE AXIS OF ROTATION (6), THE SUPPORT MEMBERS (8) PROTRUDE THROUGH THE ORIFICE MEMBERS (20) ABOVE THE TRANSPORTATION LEVEL (2) IN A CERTAIN PHASE ANGLE AREA OF SAID ROTATIONAL MOTION WHEREBY THE LOGS (12) ARE RECEIVED IN ONE OR MORE RECEIVING SPACES (10) FORMED BETWEEN THE SUPPORT MEMBERS (8) PROTRUDING ABOVE THE TRANSPORTATION LEVEL (2) AND BEING AT DIFFERENT PHASE ANGLES IN RESPECT OF EACH OTHER AND TRANSPORTED IN SAID ONE OR MORE RECEIVING SPACES (10) FURTHER IN THE ADVANCING DIRECTION (P) OF THE LOGS. THE INVENTION ALSO RELATES TO AN APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD.</p> |
