摘要:
A method and apparatus for sorting a gas-driven stream of generally flat and light-weight articles of varying dimensions execute a, preferably optical, inspection and upon so finding a non-conforming article remove the latter from the stream. In particular, the inspection and the sorting are executed during a substantially straight movement of the articles. The removing is executed through gas driving in a direction substantially transverse to the straight movement. Advantageously, the inspection is preceded by orienting the articles through a centrifugal force that orients said articles against an inclined wall in a transition to the vertical movement. Also airflow means (83,84) can be used to confine the articles in a thin layer.

The invention relates to a fender device (10) for a motor vehicle (100) with a chassis (1) provided with wheels and comprising a frame that has a beam (2) that can be fastened to said chassis (1) and a fender beam (3) running parallel to said beam (2) and fastened to said beam (2) by means of two profiles (4, 5), such that the fender beam (3) can be extended outwards with respect to (and parallel to) the beam (2). According to the invention, the profiles (4,5) are fastened to the beam (2) and the fender beam (3) adjacent the ends thereof, their hinging parts (4A ... 5B) hinge inwards and reach their extreme positions in the extended state, and reinforcement means (6, 7) are present between the ends of the beam (2) and the fender beam (3), whereby a rigid connection can be created between said beams in the extended state. Such a device (10) is a good protection against heavy traffic coming from the rear and offers a sideways safety for light traffic such as cyclists and pedestrians. The device is particularly suitable for trucks, vans, etc. The reinforcement means (6, 7) preferably comprise (stronger) further profiles (6, 7) similar to the profiles (4, 5) and connected thereto by hinging coupling pieces (8).
