Abstract
A spacing conveyor section includes a plurality of shafts each having a spring mounted thereon and a plurality of spaced donut rolls mounted on the spring. Glass sections having their leading edges transverse to the sheet movement path and generally aligned with one another are advanced onto the spacing rolls. Thereafter the springs are stretched to increase the distance between sides of adjacent sections. The sections are then advanced along the spacing conveyor section into downstream work positions.
