ABSTRACT:
A solenoid actuated diverter mechanism including a pivoted arm selectively operable to pass or divert articles moving along a conveyor path. Resilient linkage preloaded by solenoid actuation for swinging the arm into a final "over-center" diverting position yields to intercepting engagement of a passing article occurring before the final diverting position is reached. A spring returns the arm from diverting to passing position upon de-energizing the solenoid. Load reaction on the over-center linkage delays return until completion of any diverting engagement which may have started prior to de-energizing the solenoid.
