Patent ID: 7025192

Claim:
Turning apparatus for end turning objects, preferably ice-cream cones, after selective deflection of the objects from an object conveyor on which the objects are placed lying in horizontal trays, wherein the turning apparatus ( 4 ) has selection means, which makes the turning process selective, and means ensuring that the process proceeds in parallel and synchronous with the object conveyor ( 2 ), on which objects ( 22 ) are forwarded in object trays ( 6 ), and where the selection means selects the objects ( 22 ) and forward these objects ( 22 ) separately across a turning unit ( 8 ), where the objects ( 22 ) and associated means ( 8 , 16 , 18 ) are turned in the orthogonal plane of the direction of movement about a horizontal axis, which is parallel with the object conveyor ( 2 ) and by the use of delivery means are delivered back on the object conveyor ( 2 ), preferably in the same object trays ( 6 ) as the objects ( 22 ) previously were in.
