Abstract: A machine for placing stored objects on grill stand is disclosed which has a plate carrying the grills to be filled and which successively moves them under a plurality of distributing stations. The distributing stations are continuously fed pins from bulk pin bins, and have pin transfer carriages to transfer pins between the distributing stations and grills. Individual push rod sets cooperate with the transfer carriages to make the pins go from the transfer carriages into the grills. Suitable mechanisms control the longitudinal and crosswise movement of the transfer carriages above the grills so that at each loading station, a row of the grill is filled, preferably in two passes, the pins of the row being distributed successively in alternating pockets.
