Abstract
An apparatus for the ordered arrangement and creation of a feed stock in boxing plants for cones and/or conoids, for positioning after first conveyors which feed a stream of individual cones one after another, comprising a splitter unit for splitting in two the stream of cones flowing from the first conveyors towards second conveyors which follow the splitter unit. An escapement mechanism disposed at the other end of the second conveyors and a pusher and positioning unit for transferring the cones towards containing devices, to provide good accumulation of cones and their regular downstream feed.

An apparatus for the ordered arrangement and creation of a feed stock in boxing plants for cones and/or conoids, for positioning after first conveyor means which feed a stream of individual cones one after another, characterised by comprising a frame in which means are disposed for splitting in two the stream of the cones flowing from said first conveyor means towards second conveyor means which follow said splitting means, an escapement mechanism disposed at the other end of said second conveyor means and a pusher and positioning unit for transferring the cones towards containing means, said escapement mechanism comprising a set of three transverse elements which are mobile essentially vertically to halt and release sets of a predetermined number of the cones, a first and second of said transverse elements being spaced apart by a distance less than the distance between two successive cones and the second and third of said transverse element being spaced apart by a distance higher than said distance between two successive cones.
