ABSTRACT:
Dampening device for cups employed with apparatus for automatically sorting articles, typically fruit and vegetables. Fruit, for example, when automatically sorted, are dropped into moving cups from singulators. A pin extending from a closed end portion of each cup depresses a pivotable spring-mounted dampening plate when impacted by the dropping fruit to thereby soften the impact. The dampened cup lessens bruising of the fruit as well as possible negative psychological effects associated therewith.
