INTERFACE DEVICE FOR TRANSPORTING AND REPOSITIONING SHEETS

摘要

A first and a second article are disposed in lateral relation to one another in a first plane. Each article is grasped and rotated ninety degrees (90°) into a second plane and the articles follow a linear path of travel in parallel relation to one another. The articles are then brought into abutting relation to one another by a first and second set of elongate O rings disposed in converging relation to one another. After being brought together, the articles are again rotated ninety degrees (90°). They are then delivered to a conveyor with one of the articles disposed in overlying relation to the other and both of the articles disposed in the first plane. The conveyor carries the articles to a discharge station.
