ABSTRACT:
A conveying apparatus for conveying objects under the influence of gravity from a first location where the orientations of said objects are random to a second location where the objects assume a predetermined orientation. The apparatus includes a main body member and a substantially vertical passageway provided in at least a portion of the main body member and through which objects to be conveyed by the conveying apparatus are conveyed. The passageway is preferably constructed to have a first portion including an inlet for receiving the objects, wherein the first portion defines a first cross-sectional configuration. The passageway also includes a second portion having an outlet for discharging the objects, the second portion defining a second cross-sectional configuration different from the first cross-sectional configuration, the second cross-sectional configuration being operable to position objects discharged from the outlet into a predetermined orientation.
