Abstract: A method and apparatus for the high volume loading of produce or other material into a bulk container such as a truck or rail car. The invention includes an endless belt driven across the opening of a hopper, and a driven rotor assembly utilizing a series of semi-flexible loops to urge the material to be loaded into engagement with the belt. The radially disposed portions of these loops provides an essentially continuous yet flexible circumferential surface for contact with the material being moved. The cooperation of these loops with the belt gives the flexibility to accommodate various sizes of material, and yet provide sufficient contact with the material to forcefully and accurately propel it from a discharge chute into the bulk container.

Abstract: Bruising of fruit in a fruit bin filling operation accomplished by mechanism including an elevationally adjustable endless fruit-depositing conveyor having fruit-carrying pockets is minimized by mounting the pocket dividers so that they may swing between a position substantially perpendicular to the endless conveyor and a position sloping outward and backward away from the direction of movement of the endless conveyor. This feature eases movement of fruit from the supply conveyor to the depositing conveyor and eliminates flipping of fruit out of the depositing conveyor discharge by the pocket divider behind the fruit being deposited. Also a slightly declined support plate is swingably mounted to the depositing conveyor discharge end and maintained in such slightly declined attitude as the depositing conveyor is swung about a horizontal axis to change the elevation of the discharge end of such conveyor.

Abstract: A positional control device for regulating the position of an object outlet adjacent a container having a floor and plurality of sides. The position of the outlet is regulated such that an object falling from the outlet would fall a distance not greater than a predetermined distance. The outlet may also be regulated such that should the outlet approach a wall closer than a predetermined distance an alarm will be activated and the position of the outlet also being regulated such that it is automatically caused to rise upward and out of the container when a predetermined condition exists.

Abstract: A hopper for feeding fruit in several transversely spaced lanes from a supply conveyor to the pick-up positions of a fruit feeder includes several drums mounted in spaced and downwardly inclined relationships. The spacing between the adjacent drums is adapted for the reception of a single file of fruit, and the inclination of the drums is sufficient to cause the fruit to gravitate downwardly to the feeder pick-up positions. A push-pull drive mechanism is provided to pivot the drums back and forth about their axes of rotation to cause the fruit to spin as they gravitate downwardly between the drums. Such spinning action facilitates rapid feeding of the fruit downwardly between the drums and, in particular, prevents irregularly shaped citrus fruit such as tangerines or lemsons from becoming enlodged against each other to thereby interrupt their flow to the pick-up positions.

Abstract: Fruit feeding apparatus which is designed to accommodate loose bulk fruit moving upon an endless conveyor belt and to feed such fruit at right angles from said belt in a plurality of spaced single-file lanes. The apparatus includes a side guide wall adjacent one edge of the conveyor belt which wall has an opening therein to permit fruit to flow laterally from the belt only at a particular location. A hopper is positioned within the opening and includes a plurality of fruit lanes separated by upright lane walls. The lane walls terminate at a position spaced from the conveyor belt, and a shallow fruit supporting shelf extends between the lane walls and the belt. The shelf is of a width less than the diameter of a fruit such that a fruit which is received upon the shelf will be bumped by fruit on the conveyor belt until finding its way into one of the fruit lanes.
