Bottle washer discharge sorting arrangement
| Details |
Inventors: Risley, Robert F.;

An arrangement for sorting a plurality of bottles, discharged from a bottle washer in random fashion, into spaced single file columns on a plurality of parallel conveyor belts arranged substantially perpendicular to the direction of bottle discharge. Guides selectively extend across the top of the conveyor belts in the direction of the discharge of bottles from the washer, and are utilized to divide the randomly discharged bottles into a number of fractional portions, with each fractional portion being directed onto one of the conveyor belts. The guides are side rails extending in the discharge direction of the bottles substantially transversely to the direction of travel of the conveyor belts. The guide rails serving a particular conveyor belt extend to the edge of that belt at which they are curved in the upstream direction from which the belt is traveling to facilitate an orderly discharge of a single column of spaced bottles onto that belt. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A primary object of the present invention is the provision of an arrangement for sorting in an orderly manner a plurality of items randomly positioned across a conveyor means on which they are advanced into a plurality of single file columns.
A more specific object of the present invention is the provision of an arrangement for sorting the output of a bottle washing machine which deposits a plurality of bottles onto a plurality of discharge conveyor belts in an orderly progression.
Arrangements are disclosed for sorting the bottles into two, three, four, five, and six in one embodiment single file rows with each row being carried by an individual conveyor belt.
Another object of the present invention lies in the provision of an arrangement which discharges bottles in single rows on single conveyors in a manner which eliminates the need to combine the bottles into single rows by such typical equipment as combiners, dividers and conveyors, etc.
Accordingly it eliminates the more complicated equipment required by prior art arrangements, and also results in a attendant reduction in the required floor space, power consumption, soap lubrication required by fewer conveyors, power consumption required by less equipment and also noise and maintenance because of the more simplified arrangement.
In accordance with several preferred embodiments of the present invention, arrangements are disclosed for sorting a plurality of items arranged in a random fashion, into at least two single file columns.
The items to be sorted are carried by a conveyor means to at least two conveyor belts arranged substantially parallel to each other.
The conveyor belts are positioned adjacent to the conveyor means and also perpendicular thereto such that items advanced by the conveying means are deposited onto the conveyor belts.
A plurality of guides extend across the top of the conveyor belt or belts closest to the conveying means, and serve to carry items across the nearer conveyor belts to the more distant belts
