CA 2345861

A stick placer includes a stick magazine and a stick receiver. A stop regulates passage of the lowermost stick from a lower opening in the stick magazine. The stick receiver is rotatable and has a stick receiving pocket. The stick receiver is selectively rotatably mounted adjacent the lower opening in the stick magazine. The stick receiver is rotatable between a stick receiving position and a stick depositing position. In the stick receiving position the pocket cooperates with the lower opening so as to receive the lowermost stick into the pocket when the stop is selectively removed so as to release the lowermost stick from the lower opening in the magazine. In the stick depositing position, the stick receiver is angularly displaced from the stick receiving position so as to dispose the pocket for deposit of the stick from the pocket onto an upper tier of a stack of lumber. The stick receiver has a cam surface above the pocket for engaging the lowermost stick when the lowermost stick is not in flush engagement with the upper tier of the stack of lumber upon deposit from the pocket, for example when the upper tier is uneven or the stick is bent or bowed or lying side-on.
