Creators

Description

A positioning device comprises a pair of devices having extendible and retractable elements which have well-defined stroke limits and are collinear with each other. One device is fixed and the other is mounted on a slideway and carries a gate which can be displaced selectively into any one of three well-defined positions by appropriate operation of devices to obtain different combinations of extension and/or retraction of the elements. The mechanism is used for diverting articles such as pellets from one feed channel into a selected one of a number of feed channels in accordance with the results of an inspection carried out as the articles progress along the channel.
