The transfer apparatus 10, which is provided for removing the top battery plate 12 from a pile 13 of plates and dropping it at another location for further processing, includes a pick-up conveyor 11 which moves vertically downward to engage the top plate 12, then lifts the top plate 12 from the pile 13 of plates, moves the plate 12 laterally and then drops it. An elevator 14 supporting the pile 13 of plates is located beneath the pick-up conveyor 11 and its vertical movement is synchronized with the vertical movement of the pick-up conveyor 11 for maintaining the top plate 12 of the stack 13 at a position where it can be lifted by the pick-up conveyor 11. The transfer apparatus 10 also includes a conveyor 15 for moving successive stacks 13 of plates into position over the elevator 14. <IMAGE> |
