<p>PURPOSE:To make the handling of tiles easier by changing the posture of said tiles and transferring them in an erected posture by means of an intermittently turning rotor that turns around a horizontal shaft and provided at the end of a conveyor which transfers a longitudinal row of tiles in the horizontal posture. CONSTITUTION:Immediately before a tile (a) is sent out from the end of a transfer conveyor 1, a rotor 8 is turned by a quater of one turn through a Geneva a mechanism (figure omitted). At this point, since the tile (a) has been placed upon one of the tile receiving plates 20 in the top position in such a way that its end comes almost in contact with the stopper spring plate 20a, the tile (a) is turned to the point where it takes an erected posture due to the rotation as mentioned above and the guiding action of a roll 23 through an arc groove of a groove cam 25. During this rotation, a copying roll 29 for a lever 30 is pushed to the chain line position by a cam plate 33 making a retainer spring plate 31 retreat to allow a tile a1 to be translocated on another transfer conveyor 4 in an erected posture and, after being translocated, pressed by the retainer spring plate 31.</p> |
