ABSTRACT:
A conveyor for sorting and arranging in single file randomly received articles is disclosed. The unscrambling device has an acticle conveying surface consisting of skewed rollers divided into a number of zones arranged in tandem along the conveyor. The rollers in each zone from infeed to discharge are driven at increasingly higher speeds with the zones overlapping in such a manner that abrupt speed changes occur in steps both lengthwise and laterally of the conveyor. The articles are biased to one side of the conveyor which side is equipped with an article contacting rail divided into segments at least some of which are inclined to impart a jostling effect to the articles.
