ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system includes a conveyor and an article retarder for slowing or stopping articles on the conveyor. The retarder comprises a trigger, a first switch engageable b the trigger when the trigger is struck by an article, a second switch connected to the first switch and to an actuator and a brake engaged by activation of the actuator. The first and second switch include a time delay such that, when triggered, the actuator engages the brake and after a predetermined period of time, the actuator disengages the brake thereby allowing the article to continue along the conveyor at a reduced speed.
