ABSTRACT:
A bean snipper having an annular drum including openings in the drum of a size to receive beans and to permit only the ends of the beans to protrude outwardly from the outer surface of the drum, knives held in contiguous relationship to the outer surface of the drum for snipping the protruding ends of the beans, an orienter consisting of a plurality of circular discs mounted perpendicularly on a shaft having its axis substantially parallel to the axis of the drum, and a motor for driving the discs and the drum in the same direction, the discs being spaced apart a distance less than the length of the beans and being located in the lower portion of the drum adjacent the downwardly moving side thereof for tending to cause the beans to be oriented with their axes extending perpendicularly to the axis of the drum to thereby increase the probability that the ends of the beans will enter the openings in the drum, and a plurality of parallel annular plates extending inwardly from the inner surface of the drum in substantial alignment with the discs.
