Patent ID: 8807319

Claim:
A divider for dividing into parallel lanes a plurality of products advanced along a transport plane, said divider comprising: a support frame; at least one guide channel carried by said frame, adapted to receive the products advanced along said transport plane and extending parallel to a longitudinal direction; said guide channel comprising two channel portions telescopically coupled to each other along a sliding direction parallel to said longitudinal direction; first guide means connected to said frame in a fixed position and extending parallel to a transversal direction orthogonal to said longitudinal direction; second guide means carried by said frame and extending parallel to said longitudinal direction; first actuating means for moving said guide channel parallel to said transversal direction through the guiding action of said first guide means; and second actuating means for moving a first one of said channel portions relative to a second one of said channel portions parallel to said longitudinal direction and trough the guiding action of said second guide means; wherein said second guide means are connected to said frame in a fixed position; in that said first actuating means comprise first motorized cursor means slidably coupled to said first guide means and connected to said guide channel to move the guide channel parallel to said transversal direction; and in that said second actuating means comprise second motorized cursor means slidably coupled to said second guide means and connected to said first channel portion to move it relative to the second channel portion and parallel to said longitudinal direction.
