Abstract
A device allowing concrete products sorted on a traveling conveyor to be formed in a predetermined pattern of products for subsequent feeding onto a concrete product stacking cuber. A set of pneumatic wheels located downstream of the conveyor and vertically distanced from the conveyor cooperate with a rubber lined shaft located under the wheels to contact the concrete product to act as a gate to the predetermined pattern. The wheels and the shaft are driven in synchronization to rotate in a direction as to cause the pattern of concrete products to be forwarded therebetween to the stacking cuber.

A device allowing concrete products sorted on a travelling conveyor to be formed in a predetermined pattern of concrete products for subsequent feeding onto a concrete product stacking cuber, comprising:
- a) a set of wheels located downstream of said conveyor and spaced above said conveyor;
- b) a shaft located under said wheels;
- said shaft cooperating with said wheels to contact said concrete products to act as a gate to said pattern of products, and
- c) drive means for rotating said wheels and said shaft;
- said drive means being actuatable to rotate said wheels and said shaft in a direction so as to cause said pattern of concrete products to the forwarded therebetween to said stacking cuber.
