ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for sorting plastics material handles for cardboard boxes or the like containers. The handles include a main, elongate portion with a lug at each end extending on either side of the plane of said elongate portion and subtending an acute angle at one side of the handle. A housing defining a reservoir portion for receiving a supply of randomly disposed handles includes a circulatory or rotary support and drive therefor, supporting one or more carrier rods which are displaceable through the reservoir portion. The carrier rods are each of a diameter to engage between the main elongate portion of the handle and the portion of the lug defining an acute angle (45.degree.) therewith. The handles are picked up by said carrier rods and are transported by the carrier rods only on one side thereof for further processing. Aligning plates remove the sorted handles in alignment and supply them for subsequent handling and processing. The handles carried by the carrier rods are arranged to ensure that they are supported on one selected side of the carrier rod and selected handle displacing devices are positioned beneath each carrier rod when it is in an upper region of its movement path and engageable with one or more handles suspended therefrom to displace the main bodies of the handles upwardly and to one side of said carrier rod and cause any handle or handles disposed on one "incorrect" side of each said carrier rod to be disengaged from said carrier rod permitting any handle or handles disposed on the opposite "correct" side of said carrier rod to remain suspended therefrom.
