ABSTRACT:
In a tray type sorting apparatus where a package is slid downward by tilting a tray obliquely forward in a running direction, an improved tray type sorting apparatus in which a shock applied onto the package is suppressed and which simple construction yields high reliability. Since it is possible to reduce the number of component parts and assembling work therefor, and to simplify the construction, the motion for sorting operation can be simplified, and the speed of the inclination of the tray can be controlled. A pair of spherical cam plates 10 each having a cam groove 14 are integrally formed with operation arms 9. A drive lever 11 for driving each cam plate 10 is fixed through a boss 25 to an end of each operation arm 9. A hollow rotating member 7 is rotatably coupled to an open end of a bent hollow support member 8, and a drive pin 13 fitted into the cam grooves 14 of the spherical cam plates 10 is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the hollow rotating member to rotate the hollow rotating member 7 in conjunction with the rotation of the cam plate.
