Abstract

1,130,153. Photo-electric sorting apparatus. ELCEMCO Inc. Sept.28, 1965 [Sept. 28,1964], No. 29038/68. Divided out of 1,130,152 . Heading G1A. The subject-matter of this Specification is substantially the same as that described in Specifications 1,130,152 and 1,130,154, but it claims apparatus for sorting moving objects from one another comprising means for guiding the objects along a predetermined path, means for developing electric signals of value dependent upon the light reflected from the objects, and means for sorting the said objects responsive to said signals, the signal developing means including at least one photo-cell of which the photo-sensitive surface faces the objects and a plurality of self-focussing lamps which each produce a narrowly confined beam of intense light so directed as to illuminate objects guided along the path without direct illumination of a said photo-sensitive surface.
