Abstract:
A board turner assembly may include an endless chain, first and second groups of turning arms pivotably coupled with the endless chain and disposed along opposite sides thereof, an upper guide with an inclined surface, an actuator selectively operable to move the upper guide between a resting position and an extended position, and one or more endless belts. The turning arms may be spaced apart at regular intervals that are offset on one side of the chain relative to the other. The groups of turning arms may be operated in an alternating fashion to turn selected boards to a desired orientation (e.g., wane side up). Corresponding methods and systems are also described.

Claim (Index 1):
A board turner assembly comprising:\n an endless chain; a first plurality of turner arms having first and second terminal ends, the first terminal ends being pivotably coupled to the endless chain at first intervals along a first side of the endless chain by corresponding first pivot members; and a second plurality of turning arms pivotably coupled to the endless chain at second intervals along an opposite second side of the endless chain, wherein the first intervals are offset from the second intervals.
