1090-25 APPARATUS FOR TURNING WORKPIECES MOVED FORWARD IN A FLAT POSITION ABSTRACT The invention concerns an apparatus for turning workpieces moved forward in a flat position. The apparatus comprises a turning station including at least one delivery conveyor for advancing a flat workpiece, an overhead engagement conveyor for eccentrically engaging the workpiece between a delivery conveyor and the overhead engagement conveyor, a table surface for frictionally engaging a portion of the work piece and turning it, and at least one transfer conveyor for advancing the turned workpiece in its prescribed orientation. The conveyors may be supported at different levels with respect to the table surface; for example the delivery conveyors may travel through openings in the table surface permitting the upper strand of the conveyor to travel above the table surface while the lower strand travels below it. Similarly the transfer conveyors may be completely below the table surface with pegs protruding through slots in the table surface. This system, unlike known systems, has the advantage that all of conveyors are operated at the same linear speed, thus simplifying construction and control.
