ABSTRACT:
A vibratory conveyor apparatus is provided for conveying and orienting articles. The apparatus includes a hopper having an inlet and an outlet. The hopper is vibrated to convey articles in the hopper in a predetermined direction from the inlet toward the outlet. The apparatus also includes a plurality of lane dividers for dividing the hopper into a plurality of article-receiving lanes arranged to conduct articles disposed therein toward the outlet. The apparatus further includes barriers coupled to the lane dividers for disengaging an article riding on the lane dividers as the article is conveyed in the predetermined direction to cause the article to fall into a single article-receiving lane and assume a predetermined orientation therein prior to discharge of the article from the hopper through the outlet.
