ABSTRACT An apparatus for feeding individual pieces of timber from a mat of a plurality of interconnected or closely adjacent timber pieces, comprises a feed conveyor for feeding the timber mat through a feed path which, for example, may comprise an inclined plane along which the timber mat moves by gravity. A cam or arm member is oscillated periodically to engage in front of the fore- most edge of the foremost piece of the timber mat in order to position it at a location in which it will be engaged by a respective projection member which forms a part of an endless conveyor having a plurality of such projection members which are advantageously formed by pivoting them together. The projection members are shaped in a tri- angular fashion so that the apex of the triangular part engages directly adjacent the trailing edge of the fore- most piece of lumber which is fed along the feed path and it aids in separating this piece from the remaining pieces. In addition, the projection member includes a support surface which is inclined downwardly in the direction of movement of the transfer conveyor and the supporting surf- ace moves below each timber piece in succession and supports it in a downwardly and forwardly inclined position as it is tranferred away from the feedconveyor. The transfer conveyor moves through a path such that the foremost edge of each picked-up lumber piece is deposited on a second conveyor which also may be of an endless belt type which travels through a path intersecting the transfer conveyor.
