<p>PURPOSE:To enable both the number of alignments and directions to be changed by advancing in parallel pushing means in synchronism with conveyers, and providing at pushing means direction changing plates which are engaged with goods, and also, making them meet at a right angle in the direction of advancement and making them advanceable and retreatable. CONSTITUTION:When the 1st, 2nd and 3rd changeover cams 48, 52, 54 are coming down, the push bars 24 of pushing mechanisms 10a, 10c, 10f having cam rollers 44, 42, protrude widely on a conveyer 8, but the protruding amount of other pushing mechanisms 10b, 10d, 10e is small. Also, when a direction changing cam 64 is in positions of coming down and advancement, direction changing rollers 38 are engaged, and direction changing plates 34 make direction change by the action of rack shafts 28. Accordingly, goods 4 carried on a conveyer 2 are aligned onto the conveyer 8 in two rows through direction change. If changeover cams are raised, there are no changes of the number of alignments and directions. As a result, the number of alignments and directions can be together made changeable.</p> |
