Abstract
The drawings and description discloses an inspection and rejection mechanism for wrapped loaves of bread having one end thereof tied. The mechanism includes vacuum means for straightening out tied ends, in conjunction with suitable photo-electric means for detecting the absence of a tied end, or the presence of an open untied end, or the presence of two adjacent ends tied together. If any of the latter conditions exist, after two indexes a pusher device causes two loaves to be pushed to one side, rather than being fed through to discharge.
