ABSTRACT:
A sorting switch comprising a plurality of pallet support members mounted for movement around a course including an upper article sorting portion comprising spaced, parallel article conveying paths. Pallets are slidably supported on the pallet support members and have switch engaging members depending therefrom. Switching mechanisms are provided for selectively allowing each pallet to remain aligned with the article conveying path normal thereto or for diverting the pallet into alignment with the opposite article conveying path. The pallets are alternately arranged with each pallet that is normally aligned with one of the article sorting paths being followed by a pallet that is normally aligned with the other article sorting path, and vice versa.
