Apparatus for spacing and aligning dough pieces

Abstract

Abstract An apparatus for spacing and aligning dough pieces has a conveyor belt 3, 5 for conveying dough pieces, a multiplicity of dough piece receptors 32 and rotation means for turning the dough piece receptors 32 by 90degree and means for spacing the dough pieces. To provide such an apparatus having a simple movement mechanism, by means of which exactly aligning dough pieces are obtained, an elevating device 10 is disposed at a predetermined section of the same to elevate and lower a part of the conveyor belt 5 and pantograph-like connection means 27 are provided as means for spacing the dough pieces, the connection means 27 being positioned over the elevatable and lowerable section of the conveyor belt 5 and disposed in such a manner that they extend and contract transversely to the direction of motion of the conveyor belt 5 and are functionally connected to the dough piece receptors 32. <IMAGE>
