Palletizer

A palletizer comprising a main hoist for raising and lowering a pallet, a feed conveyor for moving a layer of patterned objects on to the pallet, a pallet dispenser including a base, a generally horizontally extending pallet supporting member, scissors structure for moving the supporting member vertically relative to the base, a motor having an output shaft, and structure for operably connecting the output shaft to the scissors structure such that the supporting member moves upward at a generally constant velocity in response to rotation of the output shaft at a generally constant rotational velocity, and structure for conveying pallets from the pallet dispenser to the main hoist.
