The present invention 10 discloses a device for singulating individual
logs from groups of logs for linear or transverse processing. The present invention
discloses a log singulator having a fully rotatable lifter arm member, i.e., 360
degrees rotatable, which is used to singulate logs from groups of logs. The rotatable
axle of the lifter arm may be located above the upstream "V" of the log cradle
member. Furthermore, the lifter arm of the present invention will positively push
the logs over the top point of the log cradle because it is rounded at the top
point, thereby allowing the tip of lifter arm to remain in contact with the log.
Lifter arms with 1 to 4 lifter arm tips are disclosed.
