Abstract

Apparatus for orientating loads on a linear conveyor for pivoting loads on a motor roller track to facilitate the storage of loads on pallets of a palletizer. The apparatus includes a transversely mobile controlled stop, and the movement of the stop can correspond either substantially or exactly to the peak of a sine curve. The movement of the stop enables it to maintain a substantially fixed point of contact with the load.
