ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for diverting an object from a main path of movement which shall have been sensed as displaying a defect or irregularity includes a pusher fixedly located along the main path and an auxiliary conveyor which extends into the main path. The auxiliary conveyor includes a belt disposed substantially parallel to the axis of the object, having a plurality of contiguous cups providing a passive suction for retention of the object, and the auxiliary conveyor moves along a path at least slightly oblique to the main path. The pusher includes an operator movable rapidly through a stroke of movement whose length is less than the diameter of the object to divert the object from the main to the auxiliary path of movement.
