Automated reciprocal stacking assembly

An automated reciprocal stacking assembly, comprising:

• a stationary, vertically disposed first frame having base members extending therefrom;
• a vertically disposed, laterally reciprocating second frame extending from said first frame;
• a vertically movable carriage extending horizontally from said second frame above the base members of said first frame;
• a longitudinally reciprocating distribution head disposed on said carriage wherein said reciprocating distribution head comprises a plurality of feeder belts;
• first and second sheet retaining means located on opposing ends of said carriage for retaining a sheet of stock material on a pallet;
• a rotating platform located on top of the base members of said first frame and below said carriage, the platform being adapted for receiving the sheet of stock material from said distribution head;
• a conveyor means having an output end disposed above said distribution head for delivering a continuous length of the sheet material through said distribution head for stacking on said rotating platform;
• and
• a positive timing belt connected to said reciprocating distribution head so that said reciprocating distribution head is capable of moving independently of said carriage and dispensing the sheet material at varying speeds.
