<p>An orientation mechanism, in particular for orienting objects whose surface comprises at least a concave portion and at least a projecting or bulging portion, such as mushrooms, pears, onions, flower bulbs and the like, is provided with an endless conveying member, comprising a number of mutually adjacent conveying elements formed by rollers arranged transversely to the conveying direction, spaced apart a specific distance one behind the other and movable in the conveying direction, which can be moved so that objects placed on the conveying member can be oriented. Further, motor-driven carriers are present for supporting objects oriented and to be oriented. In the conveying direction, outside the range of the conveying member, one or more groups of two brush-shaped elements are present above the carriers, wherebetween the objects can be moved, in contact therewith.</p> |
