Abstract
An apparatus for laying an elongate strip in substantially uniform layers and side-by-side rows includes a conveyer assembly for receiving a generally horizontally traveling material and for delivering the same to the upper end of a hollow, generally vertically extending, universally pivotable feed chute. The lower end of the feed chute is coupled to a first slider which is mounted for reciprocal sliding movement in a first horizontal direction on a second slider mounted in turn on the main frame for reciprocal sliding movement in a second horizontal direction normal to the first. A drive assembly reciprocates the first slider at a first rate of speed and simultaneously reciprocates the second slider in the second direction and at a slower speed rate for delivering the material in the desired pattern from the lower end of the feed chute. A speed matching assembly adjusts the speed of the strip laying apparatus to that of the strip received from other process machinery.
