Abstract: An adhesive-applying apparatus is provided for the application of adhesive to a concrete building block to be used in the building of structural panels. Adhesive material-applying guns are mounted on upright and transverse frame members for reciprocation relative to the adjacent surfaces of the block for application of the adhesive thereto preferably at the edges of the upper face and one side face.
Abstract: The feed of items from the discharge end of a fixed conveyor on to a second conveyor which is mounted for longitudinal movement relative to the first conveyor to achieve an equal spacing of the items on the second conveyor irrespective of the relative positions of the first and second conveyors is controlled by sensing an item conveyed by the second conveyor shortly after deposition thereon from the first conveyor and preventing discharge of an additional item on to the second conveyor until the first item has been sensed.
