<p>A gas feed apparatus is described for the transport of articles between assembly line stations. A turbulent gas flow is generated which provides a balanced driving force for, in particular, lightweight, irregularly shaped articles (1), and thus reduces the incidence of inconsistent feeding and jamming. Incorporated into the apparatus are features (12, 14; 9), for controlling both the number and the speed and stability of articles fed at any one time from the line to a station. In this way rapid and efficient transfer of articles between stations is ensured.</p> |
