- Apparatus 10 includes an air pressure source 68 connected to each two position valve 54 by an air line 70.
- a controller 80 is connected to the control line 82 of each valve 54 as well as to the control line 84 of each stepping motor 26.
- the signal output line 86 of each product sensor 62 is fed to controller 80.
- the controller issues control signals on lines 84 to these feeders such that the stepping motors of each selected feeder rotates the feeder's friction wheel 24 through an arc sufficient to separate the bottom products in the stack and ensure that the bottom-most product is dropped from the stack 12 of products onto feed belt 21.

- drive transmission wheel 122 In operation of apparatus 100, when air cylinders 148a, 148b of a feeder 111 are vented to atmosphere, drive transmission wheel 122 is in the position shown in figure 2a, spaced from drive wheel 38, and the conveyor 120 is stationary.
- the controller (not shown) may operate a particular feeder 111 by coupling an air pressure source to the cylinders 148a, 148b of the feeder such that the pistons 146 of the cylinders extend until the resilient face 194 of the drive transmission wheel 122 abuts the resilient face 40 of drive wheel 38, as shown in figure 2.
- Transmission belt 192 stretches to accommodate the movement of the drive transmission wheel. With the drive transmission wheel abutting the drive wheel, the drive transmission wheel, and therefore conveyor 120, is driven.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a modification of the apparatus of figure 2.
- apparatus 200 comprises feeders 211 having a conveyor 220 with an upstream feed belt 121 running on guide wheels 23a, 23b and a downstream feed belt 60 running on guide wheels 58a, 58b.
- Guide wheel 23b and guide wheel 58a are coupled to drive transmission wheel 222 by transmission belt 292.
- the drive transmission wheel rides on a shaft 242 supported at one end by pivot mount 296 and its other end by ring bearing 244 which terminates piston 246 of air cylinder 248.

- FIG. 4 illustrates a modification of the apparatus of figure 3.
- apparatus 300 comprises feeders 311 having a conveyor 220 with an upstream feed belt 121 running on guide wheels 123a, 123b and a downstream feed belt 160 running on guide wheels 58a, 58b.
- Guide wheel 23b and guide wheel 58a ' are coupled to drive transmission wheel 222 by transmission belt 292.

- a transmission belt 299 extends around the drive transmission wheel 222 and a clutched drive wheel 338 mounted on shaft 139.
- the clutched drive wheel comprises an input member 381 coupled to belt 136 and an output member 383.
- An electrical connector 385 runs from the clutched drive wheel to a controller (not shown).
- the balance of apparatus 300 is identical to apparatus 10 of figure 1 and has not therefore been shown.
- the apparatus 10 of figure 1 feeds products 18 to a conveyor 14 which moves transversely of the downstream direction 90 in which the products 12 are fed by feeders 11.
- the apparatus may be modified as shown in figure 5.

- a chain belt 36 links the spur gear to a drive wheel 38, and a feed belt 20 of a feeder 11 is positioned over each drive wheel 38.
- the drive belt 436 changes the direction of torque imparted by drive shaft 32 by ninety degrees such that driven shaft 444 is normal to drive shaft 32. Consequently, product feeders 11 may be positioned in line with each other so that they will feed products in line.
- Figure 6 illustrates another embodiment of this invention which avoids the need for stepping motors.
- apparatus 500 has a toothed drive wheel 502 keyed to drive shaft 32.
- the teeth of the drive wheel 502 mesh with a drive belt 504.
- a toothed drive wheel 506 having an eccentric cam shaft 562 also meshes with the drive belt.
- the cam shaft 562 is received within a slot 534 of a pendulum 530 of gear transmission 510.
- Gear transmission 510 is of the type described in U.S. patent no. 5,385,509 issued January 31, 1995, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Gear transmission 510 converts a constant rotary motion into a pulsed rotary motion.
- gear transmission 510 comprises a one-way clutch 512 with pendulum 530 depending from the input shaft 514 of the clutch.
- a support arm 536 is supported by a sleeve bearing on clutch shaft 514 and is affixed to the output member 516 of the clutch.
- Arm 536 terminates in a shaft 538 which rotatably supports planetary spur gear 542.
- the planetary gear 542 meshes with sun gears 546 and 548 which are supported on an output shaft 544.
- Sun gear 546 is fixed against rotation by tag 556.
- Sun gear 548 is keyed to the output shaft 544 so that the shaft 544 rotates with sun gear 548.
- the clutch input shaft 514 is co-axial with the output shaft 544 but is not constrained to rota e with the output shaft .
- Fixed sun gear 546 has a slightly different number of teeth than does rotatable sun gear 548.
- the fixed gear 546 may have fifty-one teeth and rotatable gear 548 may have fifty teeth.
- planetary gear 542, and sun gears 546, 548 are set up as harmonic gears.
- Spur gears 570 are keyed to the output shaft 544. Each spur gear 570 meshes with a spur gear 572.
- the feed wheel 24 of each feeder 511 is supported by a shaft 574 for rotation with a spur gear 572.
- eccentric cam shaft 562 rocks the pendulum 530 back and forth through one cycle. Since pendulum 530 is joined to the input member 514 of one-way clutch 512, this input member 514 rotates alternately in a clockwise sense and then in a counterclockwise sense as the pendulum progresses through its cycle.
- the input and output members of the clutch lock together when the pendulum rocks in one sense and rotate arm 536, which depends from the output member of the clutch, through an arc which is determined by the eccentricity of cam 562.
- Planetary gear 542 moves with support arm 536 and meshes with sun gears 546, 548. Since the fixed sun gear 546 and the rotatable sun gear 548 have a different number of teeth, as the planetary gear moves through an arc about the sun gears, the rotatable gear 548 is caused to rotate through a small part of a revolution. This operation of these harmonic gears will be well understood to those skilled in the art . Since the output shaft 544 is keyed to the rotatable sun gear 548, when gear 548 moves through a small part of an arc, the output shaft moves with it.
- drive shaft 32 is continuously driven which, due to gear transmission 510, results in the output shaft 544 being pulsed at regular intervals.
- the feed wheel 24 of each feeder 511 is geared to the output shaft 544. Accordingly, the feed wheel 24 of each feeder is also pulsed through an arc at regular intervals.
- the apparatus 500 of figure 6 omits the stepping motors of figure 1 and the control lines to these motors and utilises gear transmission 510 instead? otherwise, apparatus 500 is identical to the apparatus 10 of figure 1. Accordingly, a controller selectively activates the conveyors of feeders 511. Since the feed wheel 24 of each feeder 511 is regularly pulsed, it is certain that a product will be resting on the feed belt of the selected feeders for feeding downstream.
- each feeder regularly pulsing the feed wheels of each feeder will not normally drop more than one product onto the feed belt of idle feeders (i.e., feeders which are not selected for a period of time) due to the small space between the bottom of the stack of products and the upstream feed belt, which only accommodates one product. Further, at least provided each feeder is selected fairly regularly, the feed wheel 24 by itself will not have an opportunity to feed the bottom product by degrees through the nip between the upstream feed wheel and the feed belt.
- the apparatus of the present invention requires only one drive motor for the conveyors of the feeders. Avoiding individual drive motors for each feeder and the necessary power supply for each such motor can result in a per feeder cost saving of up to fifty percent.
