Abstract

An apparatus for transporting successive pieces to be separated from one another at respective predetermined spacings at a predetermined velocity, includes a rotary-to-linear movement conversion device, including a crank normally arranged to be driven at a prearranged angular velocity by a drive mechanism, and a clutch normally connected to, but disconnectable from the crank, and adapted to be connected to a drive device for periodically reducing the angular velocity to zero, so that the spacing of successive pieces may be accurately adjusted.
