ABSTRACT:
An article selection apparatus includes a housing with a hollow internal cavity in which is mounted a rotatable base. A peripheral, annular groove is formed in the base for aligning articles loosely disposed in the hollow cavity in the housing in single file. An inclined chute is mounted within the housing with a first end disposed in proximity with the groove in the base such that articles disposed in the groove are urged upward along the chute under centrifugal force imparted to the articles by rotation of the base and the momentum of succeeding, abutting articles in the groove. A discharge sleeve is mounted in the housing with one end disposed externally of the housing and another end located internally within cavity and spaced from the discharge end of the chute. Articles having a predetermined amount of momentum traverse the distance between the spaced ends of the chute and the sleeve for collection in the discharge sleeve.
