Abstract: A "fruit cup" (1) which is shaped to receive articles, for example single pieces of fruit or produce such as apples. The articles rest in a space on a support between the back plate (7) of a "U" shaped bracket and a rotatable bow-tie roller (2) positioned between the arms (4, 5) of the bracket. The support sits on a mounting to which it is coupled while being allowed limited relative movement therebetween. The relative movement between the support and the mounting allows the support to be tilted, lifting the roller (2), enabling it to be rotated to ensure that the "fruit cup" (1) contains only one article. The support is also able to be tipped to either side, to discharge the article contained therein, and to later be repositioned atop the mounting. In use, the base (13, 14) of the mounting is attached to an endless chain conveyor so that a number of "fruit cups" form an endless circuit in an article grading/packaging/sorting system which may have a number of adjacent circuits.

Abstract: An object sorting apparatus has a singulation section, a sorting section, and a transfer section for transitioning objects, such as fruit, to be sorted to a conveyor which deposits the objects into appropriate collection bins. Objects for sorting are transported on an endless conveyor or wheels through the singulation and sorting section. A first independently adjustable speed belt in the singulation section rotates in a direction opposite that of the flow of items from the singulation section to the sorter section, to assist in singulation. A second adjustable speed belt rotates in the same direction as the wheels and operates to provide a view of each of four sides of the object to an imaging device. The imaging device supplies signals representing a desired sorting parameter to a processor which evaluates the measured parameters and generates signals so that the objects are ultimately deposited in appropriate sorting bins. An object holder receives an object as it is about to be transferred onto a second conveyor for transport to the collection bins. The object holder, which is attached to the wheels, acts to extend the lateral distance of the object beyond the return location of the endless conveyor. This minimizes the downward distance and direction the object travels before it is captured by a transport cup on the second conveyor, thus reducing damage to the objects, such as bruising of fruit. A rotatable transfer roll is positioned between the conveyors to restrict vertical travel and impart lateral motion to the objects as they leave the object holder. The transfer is preferably padded to further reduce the risk of bruising the fruit.
