| 20090120849 | Apparatus for the Weight-Controlled Assembly of Products Into a Lot - The invention concerns an apparatus for the weight-controlled assembly of products into a lot, including a delivery element ( | 05-14-2009 |
| 20110108470 | WEIGHING DEVICE FOR CAPSULES - A weighing device for detecting the weight of capsules quickly including at least a hopper, an upper passageway including a discharge gate at the lower part thereof, a pushing structure, a transport wheel including a storage chamber, a discharging structure, a weighting platform, and a lower passageway. When the storage chamber of the transport wheel rotates to cooperate with the discharge gate, a capsule is pushed into the storage chamber by the pushing structure. When the storage chamber rotates to the lowest point of the transport wheel, the capsule in the storage chamber is pushed by the discharging structure and thus falls into the weighing platform disposed below the storage chamber. The weighting platform weighs the capsule and evaluates whether the capsule is up to standard. The device has high weighing efficiency. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110192770 | Method and device for sorting mail - The invention relates to a method for sorting mail and, in particular, to the route order sorting thereof. The method is characterized in that postcode addresses applied to the mailings are recorded before the sorting process to give route order sorting, on the basis of the recorded postcodes it is determined which address points have mail and, on arranging the address points, those address points for which there is not at least one mailing are suppressed. The invention further relates to a device suitable for both sorting mail by address and also for route order sorting of mail. The method and device are particularly suitable or the sorting of large and oversize letters. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110266199 | DEVICE FOR SELECTING AND SEPARATING OBJECTS - The present invention provides a device for sorting items according to at least one predetermined criterion. The device includes at least one conveyor for transporting an item along at least a portion of the device, a measuring until positioned in proximity to the conveyor for receiving the items from the conveyor, and at least one separation gate along a length of the at least conveyor that can be selectively actuated based on at least one predetermined criteria measured by the measuring unit. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20130248425 | FISH-SORTING DEVICE AND METHOD - The invention relates to a fish sorting device, comprising a weighing compartment which is designed to receive a single fish, a weighing device which is coupled mechanically to the weighing compartment and is designed to sense the weight exerted on the weighing compartment by the fish. The invention is characterised by at least two discharge ports through which a fish can be removed from the fish sorting device, a sorter which is designed to sort the fish from the weighing compartment selectively into one of the at least two discharge ports, an actuator unit ( | 09-26-2013 |
| 20140054205 | UTENSIL SORTING APPARATUS - An apparatus and method are provided for managing (e.g. sorting, orienting, arranging, and stacking, etc.) one or more utensils; the utensils having a first and second end that define a longitudinal axis. The utensil sorting apparatus comprises of a plurality of arms to which a mechanism for locating a utensil, one or mechanisms for identifying a utensil, a device for orienting a utensil, and a device for grasping a utensil are attached. The grasping mechanism is used to transport a utensil to various steps used in a sorting process with a final step being to place the utensil in a designated bin, or compartment. The utensils placed in a compartment are oriented such that the first end of each utensil is at the same end of a wall of the compartment. The apparatus can also be used to arrange and stack utensils in preparation for secondary operations. | 02-27-2014 |

| 20090026119 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GRADING ARTICLES BASED ON WEIGHT, AND ADAPTED COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA - The present invention relates to an apparatus for grading food articles based on at least one characteristic of the food articles. The grading comprises building up portions of the food articles in containers or grading the food articles onto one or more receiving areas, wherein the arrangement of the food articles during the grading is preserved. According to the invention, determining means determines one or more characteristic parameters indicating the characteristics of the food articles. A first conveyor conveys the food articles along a closed-loop conveying path, where the conveyor comprising a number of article holders is attached to the conveyor for holding the food articles during the conveying along the closed-loop conveying path. An arranging means arranges the food articles onto the article holders, where the article holders preserve the arrangement of the food articles in the article holders during the conveying. A processor uses the one or more characteristic parameters for selecting article holders that are suitable for the grading. Removing means then finally removes the food articles from the article holders in the containers or to the one or more receiving areas without altering the arrangement of the food articles in the article holders. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20110309005 | YARN SORTING SYSTEM - Yarn package sorting conveyer systems and methods using multiple conveyers based on weights, colors or other characteristics of the packages or yarns. The system may include a first conveyer that serves as a timing belt, a second conveyer that serves as a weighing belt, and a third conveyer that serves as a sorting/exit belt, but fewer or more conveyers and alternative conveyer mechanisms may be used. The conveyers may be controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with touch screen interfaces or other suitable control mechanisms and systems. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20150352596 | INSPECTION SYSTEM - An inspection system is provided with a weight inspection device, a sorting device, and a frame. The weight inspection device includes a weighing conveyor for conveying a weighing object, and a load cell for weighing the weighing object conveyed by the weighing conveyor, and inspects the weighing object using the result of weighing by the load cell. The sorting device includes an sorting conveyor arranged downstream of the weighing conveyor, a movable member being configured to come in contact with the weighing object conveyed by the sorting conveyor to change a traveling direction of the weighing object, and a cylinder for driving the movable member based on the result of inspection by the weight inspection device so as to cause the movable member to come in contact with the weighing object. The frame supports the weighing conveyor, the load cell, and the movable member. | 12-10-2015 |
