DEVICE FOR SEPARATING CELLULAR SPACERS ITEM BY ITEM AND FOR DELIVERING THEM OUT OF PILE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: device has a hoisting and lowering feed platform. When the platform moves up the roll acts on the lever and support plates get out from under the pile. Clamps enter the spacer cells. With the platform continuing to move up the movable upper plate begins to displace from the top one. The pins can push the clamp blades apart through their cone portions and ensure that the cells of the bottom spacer are tightly seized by their inner surfaces. A fixing device is provided which members hold the first plate in its position below the second one until the platform sinks to the bottom. Then the first plate is spring-forced up and the interaction of clamps with cells weakens. The spacer is released and pushed out of the separation site. EFFECT: shorter operation time, longer service life. 1 dwg
