摘要

Apparatus for transporting along an individual path an object having similar flat end portions, apparatus comprising a pair of similar helical elements separated by a distance less than the length of the object, to accommodate an object extending between both and that is located with their opposing flat end parts arranged between contiguous turns of said propeller elements respectively, each of said propeller elements having a first portion in which their contiguous turns are separated by a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the propeller. the end portions of said object, and a second portion of greater pitch in which its contiguous turns are separated by a distance slightly greater than the width of said end portions of the object, said propeller elements also having an intermediate portion of increasing pitch that joins said portions, first and second, a path located between said elements in helix and intended to receive in cooperative contact an object that is being transported, and means for rotating said helical elements so that an object extending between them and receiving the cooperative contact of application of said first portions thereof is moved as far as possible. length of said path and applied in contact with said intermediate and second portions of said elements, successively, while the variation of the passage of said elements in helix in said intermediate portions causes said object to turn from an initial orientation generally normal to the plane of said through a second orientation generally parallel to the plane of said path, when advancing along said path in contact with said intermediate portions.
