Abstract
During transfer the bars or tubes of circular section are separated from each other and displaced step by step by the device while being propelled laterally and rotated. The device comprises three sets of vertically movable stringers, each having upwardly projecting teeth preferably with plane surfaces symmetrical with respect to the vertical, the teeth being equal to each other and spaced horizontally, the teeth of the stringers of any one set also being aligned, and the sets of stringers being so arranged that a product being transferred is always supported by at least two sets of stringers.
