ABSTRACT:
The apparatus has a downwardly inclined guide ramp which diverges in its width in downward direction and is provided on its upper surface with parallel guide channels. An upper end of the ramp receives a stream of identical objects which are located in random orientation and in overlapping relationship in the stream. The lower end of each guide channel discharges into a pair of sorting channels and a routing arrangement is provided upstream of these sorting channels to assure that objects having a desired orientation enter only one of the sorting channels whereas objects having an undesired orientation enter only the other sorting channel where they encounter a reversing arrangement which reverses their position until they, also, assume the desired orientation.
