Abstract
The apparatus uses a single, simple movement of a shoe to wrap the rear bottom tuck panel underneath the ice cream sandwich and to push the ice cream sandwich onto a conveyor surface. In addition, the apparatus utilizes at least one friction member to actively engage the ice cream sandwich while the shoe withdraws after pushing the ice cream sandwich onto the conveyor surface.
