摘要: 1,242,305. Orientating articles on endless conveyers. SUNSWEET GROWERS Inc. 30 June, 1969, No. 32994/69. Heading B8A. An article spacing and aligning mechanism having an inclined platform 26 along which the are rolled by linearly moving rollers 16, includes means 20 for revolving rollers, in direction of linear motion at a velocity less than latter, whereby orient separate articles. As shown, is constituted belt. The 16 comprises chain engages sprockets 18, each rotationally rigid with respective roller 16. In modification (Fig. 4, not shown), both belt formed two chains (or belts as case may be) series. This enables (which be prunes), to rotated high speed first section, sorting aligning, slower second section scanning, aid photo-electric device (40) 6, shown).
