ABSTRACT:
A conveyor sorter includes diverter stations having a plurality of spaced apart powered rollers mounted to carry the articles in the direction of the conveyor; a plurality of laterally movable post carriers, preferably endless belts, positioned alternately with the rollers. At least one post is mounted on each of the post carriers and extends upwardly therefrom. A controller is operative to move each of the post carriers to position the posts for engagement with articles traveling along the conveyor into the diverter station. The posts can be moved either to push articles off the conveyor or to form a stationary array to guide the articles off the conveyor.
