  • Patent number: 5195652
    Abstract: Apparatus for regularly delivering essentially ball-shaped objects from a quantity, provided with a container for a supply of objects, a discharge channel for the objects to be delivered, and a body rotating about a horizontal axis between the container and the channel and above the channel for regulating the passage of the objects through the channel. The channel has a V-shaped cross-section, and the rotating body has two conical end parts of which the tips facing away from each other coincide with the horizontal axis of rotation. These end parts face the channel walls in such a way that between the bottom of the channel and the rotating body a free passage exists for objects in single file.
