ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for automatically sorting articles on hangers comprises a take-in chain to convey the articles to a downward sloping member having a stop. A pivoted lifting hook feeds articles one by one over the stop and onto a horizontal guide bar. The articles are propelled, in spaced relation to one another, along the guide bar by chain-driven pawls. The guide bar has gaps, which are normally bridged by pivotable sorting members. The sorting members may be selectively pivoted downwardly to deliver articles to sorting chutes, which are disposed so that they are in alignment with the sorting members when the sorting members are tilted downwardly.
