Abstract: In a fruit processing apparatus incorporating a chain of elastomer conveyor cups with each cup formed with a single ear at one end and a pair of ears at the other end, each pair of ears straddling a single ear of an adjacent cup with a pivot bushing extending through aligned pivot bores of the three ears and wherein a drive wheel has a circumferential series of laterally projecting drive pins that enter inner ends of the successive pivot bushings briefly to actuate the conveyor, the present invention improves the anchorage of the pivot bushing by providing the opposite ends of the pivot bushing with oppositely facing outer circumferential shoulders and by providing the bores through the two straddling ears with inner oppositely facing circumferential shoulders that cooperate with the outer circumferential shoulder to prevent axial shift of the pivot bushing in opposite axial directions.

Abstract: A side discharge belt conveyor assembly for fragile articles such as grapefruit sections employs three flat parallel conveyor belts all moving in the same direction, and having lateral spaces between adjacent side edges. Diverter blades are pivotally supported in close proximity to the upper surfaces of the belts in order to sweep the fragile articles laterally off all the side edges of the belts at predetermined locations, thereby minimizing the extent of required lateral travel of the fragile articles. Two oppositely-movable diverter blades above each side belt are connected to one diverter blade above a side portion of the wide center belt for simultaneous movement in unison between inoperative longitudinal positions and operative slanted positions. A deflector and additional pivoted blades are provided for diverting broken grapefruit sections from the central portion of the wide center belt to transverse discharge chutes at predetermined locations.
