CHOPSTICK FEEDER OF AUTOMATIC CHOPSTICK PACKAGING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chopstick feeder of an automatic chopstick packaging machine which can feed two independent chopstick materials while they are placed side by side synchronously with a packaging sheet. SOLUTION: The chopstick feeder (2) of the automatic chopstick packaging machine holds a plurality of independent chopstick materials (5) in a stacked state on a runway of the packaging sheet (1) folded into a U-shape, pushes out lower two of the materials (5 and 5) among the plurality of stacked materials in the direction of the sheet (1) running by a push-out member (9), and feeds the two pushed out materials (5 and 5) together with the packaging sheet (1) through a pair of catch rollers (11 and 11). A peripheral surface of at least one of the pair of catch rollers (11 and 11) is formed of an elastically deformable member.
