DEFINITION
Classification: 171/130
(under subclass 126) Apparatus in which a number of reticulated separating surfaces formed of continuous endless belts, bands or flights are disposed in such relative positions that objects carried by one belt, band or flight are deposited on the next belt, band or flight in sequence.
(1) Note. The successive belts are usually inclined with the outlet area of one belt disposed above the inlet area of the next so that the fall of the object from one to the other is utilized to assist in the separation.
