  • Patent number: 5127319
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for distributing skewers, especially wooden skewers intended for making brochettes, among respective bores of a reception apparatus, such as a loading apparatus of a skewering machine.Cradles (193), each of which is capable of receiving a skewer (2), travel past a skewer take-up location (134) and then a location (113) for transferring the skewers (2) towards the reception apparatus (1). To ensure that skewers (2) having natural bending are taken up, each cradle takes up each skewer (2) only over a dimension (2L.sub.8) substantially smaller than the length (L) of the latter.

  • Patent number: 5109757
    Abstract: Apparatus for the temporary retention of a plurality of skewers having a block-shaped body. The body comprises a plurality of bores and a slide, mounted slideably within the body. The slide has a plurality of holes which can be oriented either coaxially with the bores of the body to allow free passage of the skewers or offset relative to the bores of the body. The slide passes through the body at an intermediate level of the bores in such a way that a substantial portion of the bores is located respectively on either side of the slide and can receive a corresponding portion of a skewer passing through a hole of the slide between these two portions. The immobilization of each skewer in a respective bore of the body is achieved as a result of a bearing of the slide in the respective hole, particularly by way of a material elastically compressible and/or having a high coefficient of friction.
