ABSTRACT:
A cup for conveying fruit, or other discrete bruisable articles to be sorted, is connected to a transporting chain. The cup has a first body of a first plastic, such as Delrin or UHMW, which has dimensional stability, which is connected to the transporting chain. The cup also has a second body of a second plastic which is of a less expensive/quality material, such as a softer material having the cost characteristics of EVA. The second body is irremovably connected to the first body and extends from it in a dimension opposite to the connection of the first body to the transporting chain, and the second body has a generally conical depression with the front and rear edges longer than the side edges and a varying angle of inclination, that prevents a discrete bruisable element from inadvertently moving out of the body. A trip tab may extend downwardly from the first body.
