Abstract

An apparatus receives case blanks in a given faced orientation within an upright stack and delivers the blanks in shingled arrangement in reverse faced orientation. Two forks are pivoted about a common pivotal axis and move independent of one another, in response to a control system, to upset the upright stack and establish the shingled arrangement and reverse faced orientation.
