PURPOSE:To release and drop a veneer without being damaged, by moving a separating member in the forward direction of a sticking type conveyor along the latter at a seed higher than the speed of the conveyor. CONSTITUTION:The terminal end of an introducing conveyor 3 is positioned in the vicinity of the front end of the hanging path X-X of a sticking type conveyor 1, and the travelling speed of the conveyor 3 is equal to that of the sticking type conveyor 1. The sticking of a veneer A which is transferred by the introducing conveyor 3, by the sticking type conveyor 1, is made by a pressing roller 4 disposed above the terminal end of the introducing conveyor 3, for pressing the rear surface of the endless belt of the sticking type conveyor 1, an operating mechanism 5 for advancing and retracting the pressing roller 4 and a detector 6 positioned above the introducing conveyor 3 upstream of the sticking type conveyor 1. There is arranged a separating conveyor provided with a separating member having an inclined separating surface and travelling in the same direction as the transferring direction of the conveyors 1, 3 at a speed higher than that of the latter while obliquely traversing the hanging path, so that the veneer A is released from the sticking conveyor 1.
