Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided, for separating articles from product boards and transporting the product articles to another processing station or packaging area. Because of the sticky nature of confections which may be handled the product must be scraped from a product board. Articles are separated from product boards on which they rest upon encountering a blade member which acts to wedge the product from a board surface. The boards are ejected from the machine for reuse, while product or confections are moved downstream along a belt take-up transport conveyor for deposit onto product delivery conveyor, whereby product orientation may be accomplished.

Abstract: There is disclosed an elevation setting mechanism for a motor-driven tool in a power tool apparatus such as a table saw. The table saw described includes a housing having a table top with an opening through which the motor-driven tool in the form of a saw blade can pass, and an assembly including a frame pivotally mounted in the housing about a first axis. Pivotally mounted in the frame about a second pivot axis is a first subassembly which includes the saw blade. Further, there is included a second subassembly pivotally mounted about the second pivot axis. The basic elevation setting mechanism includes a control lever operatively connected to the second subassembly for pivoting same, and means connecting the two subassemblies, such that they pivot in unison, in response to action of the control lever, for purposes of setting the tool at a coarse level.
