ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for selectively diverting articles carried by a conveyor roller system of the type utilizing a field of rollers mounted for rotation upon an underlying drive belt. An angulated transfer roller is rotatably mounted between existing rollers in the field and powered by an aligned drive roller in frictional engagement with the drive belt. The drive roller is mounted and aligned in generally parallel spaced relationship relative to the adjacent rollers of the field. The angular orientation of the transfer, or diverting roller, is provided by a generally "Y" shaped housing. This configuration permits the diverting roller to be angulated and selectively upstand through the notional plane of conveyance of the field of rollers by rotation of the housing. In this position, the angulated transfer roller engages an article passing therethrough. Such a diverting roller system may be incorporated into an existing roller field while utilizing the underlying drive system and may be remotely actuated by conventional actuation linkage.
