Abstract

See full text

Weighing and sorting apparatus for articles such as fruit or the like, and an improved weigh cup for use therewith. The weigh cups move along a predetermined path including a scale that weighs each cup and its contents. The cups are supported on the weigh scale only along a line coincident with the lateral center of gravity of the cup, allowing each weighing operation to commence as soon as that single support for the cup moves onto a weigh platform. Each cup includes a stabilizer arm to maintain the cup in an upright attitude notwithstanding the single support at the lateral center of gravity.
