Abstract: An apparatus is provided for hanging sausage on a rod that does not need the task for suspending sausage on hooks to be paused when a chain of sausages hung on a rod is to be removed or when closure processing is to be performed on the front end portion or the rear end portion of a chain of sausages. Hook units are transferred and each include: a unit body that moves along a rail; a rod portion that is rotatably supported to the unit body and has attached thereto a hook portion at one end for hanging a joining portion of the chain of sausages, and a support portion that supports the chain of sausages suspended on the hook portion; and a rod receiving portion that is attached to the unit body, and has formed thereon a recessed portion in which a rod is to be placed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a stacker for a food loaf slicing machine of the type which includes first and second stack supports capable of being alternately positioned so as to receive food loaf slices of generally uniform thickness thereon as they are cyclically cut from the end of a food loaf at a slicing station into which the food loaf is advanced. When one of the stack supports has received a stack of N slices thereon, it is momentarily rotated a half turn outwardly of its slice receiving position under a force which exceeds a frictional force exerted between the underside of the stack and the upper surface of the stack support. As the one stack support is so rotated, the stack of slices present thereon is, virtually without being subject to any lateral force, allowed to fall freely downward as it is, until it is placed on a conveyor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tape recorder which is attached with an endless magnetic cartridge having 8 track-4 channels or 4 track-2 channels wherein each channel may be recorded or regenerated one after another.
