Abstract
An apparatus for sorting and preparing condoms for packing comprises a hopper (1) for receiving a bulk supply of condoms and through which an upwardly directed pulsed flow of air is directed to orientate the condoms in upright positions and to cause individual condoms to enter dispensing units (2) which control delivery of the condoms to vacuum transfer tubes (3) through which the condoms are conveyed to respective roll-up mechanisms (4). Each roll-up mechanism (4) includes a plurality of roll-up devices (39) carried on a turntable (38) to be moved in turn to the loading station aligned with the outlet of the transfer tube (3). Each condom is delivered directly onto a roll-up device, being turned inside out as it passes down over the roll-up device which has two rods (40) arranged to become spread apart for rolling-up the condom.
