The apparatus includes a horizontal rotating plate (14, 114) with three equally spaced arms (15, 15b, 15c) and a lug assembly (16a, 16b, 16c) attached to an end of each arm. The plate rotates at a repeating velocity pattern enabling a lug assembly to be inserted between articles from the moving stream and a group of selected articles to be separated by a predetermined acceleration of the lug assembly.</p> |
