Apparatus for notching pallet stringers

摘要

The apparatus for notching pallet stringers comprises a skid surface over which the stringers are caused move, the stringers are held down against the skid surface so that rotary cutting knives can form the notches. The apparatus is provided with a conveyor mechanism for orienting the stringer members in proper positions to encounter the rotary cutting knives regardless of the position when first placed in a crib for the conveyor. The apparatus includes a pusher device to feed stringers into the rotary knives so that the stringers are bunched up for the purpose of using stringers to support each other as they are pushed over the skid surface into the rotary knives.
