ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with an improved construction of an apparatus for assorting such spherical fruitage as oranges, apples and pears by each different size thereof, comprising a plurality of assorting plates vertically overlapped with each other, the uppermost plate being provided with the largest diameter assorting hole and successive lower plates having holes of decreasing diameter so that as the plates progress in operation, the lower plates are successively moved downwardly into different positions, thereby permitting the fruits to be assorted free of any damage which otherwise might affect the rind of the fruits by passing the fruit through each of the assorting holes.
