DEFINITION
Classification: 83/104
(under subclass 102) Device in which means are provided to permit the earth's gravitational field to act selectively on a plurality of product portions; with the result that one portion or piece will move along a path have a downward component, under the gravitational impetus, while another
portion or piece will move along some other path or will be restrained from moving away from the zone of separation.
