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.
