ABSTRACT:
A pear orienting machine which includes an inclined feed chute along which pears are fed. The chute has a plurality of friction strips applied thereto near the inlet end thereof and the friction strips are small in relation to the size of the chute, whereby pears fed to the chute engage the spaced friction strips and those pears which are properly oriented continue along the chute in their proper orientation, but improperly oriented pears are caused to turn and be properly oriented by the frictional engagement thereof with the friction strips. The size and location of the strips is such that the pears are not excessively abraded by the strips and the strips thus remain effective for their intended purpose for extended periods of time, with the result that very few pears are wasted and more efficient operation of the machine is obtained.
