CA 2321980

A transport system for use in a produce sizing or sorting apparatus is disclosed having a plurality of pivotally interconnected carrier members (10) forming an endless conveyor, each said carrier member (10) having a pair of finger members (25, 26) connected thereto in a manner whereby the finger members depend downwardly at least along a portion of the endless conveyor, each pair of finger members (25, 26) together with adjacent such pairs defining a produce retaining zone (22) extending in the direction of the endless conveyor when the finger members (25, 26) are positioned in a first closed position, and at least one of each finger member pair (25, 26) being selectably pivotable, in use, to a second open position enabling produce to be released from the produce retaining zone (22) at desired and spaced locations along the path of the endless conveyor.

La présente invention concerne un système de transport utilisé dans un appareil de calibrage ou de tri de produits frais comportant plusieurs éléments transporteurs (10) reliés ensemble de façon pivotante et formant un tapis transporteur sans fin. Chaque élément transporteur (10) comprend une paire de branches en crochet (25, 26) reliés de manière à pendre vers le bas au moins le long d'une partie du tapis transporteur sans fin. Chacune des paires de branches en crochet (25, 26) en association avec d'autres paires analogues adjacentes forment une zone de retenue de produit frais (22) qui s'étendent en direction du tapis transporteur lorsque les branches en crochet (25, 26) sont dans une première position fermée, au moins une branche de chaque paire de branches en crochet (25, 26) étant sélectivement pivotante, pendant l'utilisation, dans une deuxième position ouverte qui permet de libérer le produit frais de la zone de retenue de produit (22) sur des points choisis et espacés le long du trajet du tapis transporteur sans fin.
