Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a very simple and inexpensive device and system for mechanically detecting and, optionally ejecting non-standard bottles and other articles from a line composed of standard and non-standard bottles traveling on a conveyor. The device can be quickly adjusted as required to detect bottles based on various physical differences between the types of bottles such as diameter, buffer zones, neck diameters, shoulder heights, etc. The device is inexpensive, requires little space or maintenance and can be adapted to handle many types of non-standard bottles. It can also be used to sort articles based on those physical differences.
