ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure describes an improved gate for selectively diverting item-supporting carriers from a transport path on a powered conveyor to their ultimate destination via an alternate path. More specifically, the gate finds application in a mail-handling system which requires the routing of carriers during the processing operation. In this regard, selected carriers may be diverted from the conveyor belts on which they are being transported onto a gravity turn effected by the gate itself, and then permitted to continue unaided to their destination by means of an inclined rail or similar structure.
