Abstract
A device suitable for the continuous feeding of wood pieces of approximately the same length into flaking machines comprises a feed trough opening into the flaking machine, behind which there is arranged a loading magazine whose cross section agrees with the feed trough. The lengths of wood are shaped into compact piles, which are then advanced cyclically into the flaking machine by means of a pushing plate. In order to be able to bring the pushing plate back over the log pile already prepared for further processing inside the loading magazine, the pushing plate is able to be slewed upon a support that can be moved parallel to the floor of the device, over both the feed trough and the loading magazine. Control members attached to the pushing plate interact for short intervals with stationary control paths at the beginning and end of the return trip of the pushing plate to cause the plate to tip either into its withdrawal position or into its pushing position. Additionally, a sliding closer, which can be slid between the feed trough and the flaking machine, serves, during the last flaking cycle, to close the flaking chamber, and, during the preceding flaking cycles, to exert additional pressure on the log pile to be processed.
