Abstract:
A discrimination object deflecting apparatus, comprising;a discrimination section for continuously discriminating a moving object to be discriminated and generating a discriminating signal when the moving object is to be discriminated; a passage through which the object to be discriminated moves according to a discriminating speed of said discrimination section; a deflection passage connected to one side of said passage; a deflection drive section having an opening provided on an opposite side of said passage from said deflection passage such that said opening of said deflection drive section is opposite said deflection passage and a deflection plate arranged in said opening of said deflection drive section, said deflection drive section being arranged to protrude said deflection plate into said passage and retract said deflection plate from said passage at high speed in response to the discriminating signal such that an object moving in said passage and to be discriminated is flipped by said deflection plate into said deflection passage upon protruding of said deflection plate into said passage; and a control section for controlling said deflection drive section according to the discriminating signal of said discrimination section such that when an object in said passage is to be discriminated, said deflection plate is protruded into said passage and when an object in said passage is not being discriminated, said deflection plate is not protruded into said passage.
