Abstract

A longitudinal lumber conveyor has sets of transverse tooth wheels aligned on each side of the axis of the conveyor. The tooth wheels are mounted on a lifting frame which may be lifted above the conveyor transport plane to rotate pieces of lumber thereon. After the pieces of lumber have been inspected the lifting frame and tooth wheels thereon are lowered and the pieces of lumber are then conveyed to the next processing station.
