ABSTRACT:
An adjustment assembly is provided for a sorting machine for elongate articles, e.g. string beans, for adjusting the inter-bar spacing between the alternating fixed and movable bars of the rotary drum thereof, and is operative when the parts of the sorting machine are in motion. The movable bars are mounted for displacement in radial slots in peaked elements extending outwardly of the drum. Springs are run around pulleys mounted on the movable bars for urging the movable bars toward a limit position in their slots. An inclined cam member is associated with each movable bar and has a camming surface cooperating with a cam followers slidably mounted on its movable bar. Forked slide control members control the sliding of the cam followers along their movable bars and are received in grooves of pairs of adjacent cam followers. All the slide control members are moved in unison by an adjustment ring mounted independent of the rotary drum and parallel to the axis thereof.
