ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system including bobbin-type members which can pivot or rotate about a central longitudinal "bobbin axis" to allow selective discharge of packages conveyed by conveying belts mounted within the bobbin members. The bobbin-type members included integral conveyor(s) positioned generally within substantially cylindrical "shells" which are covered with friction-engaging materials. Rotation of the bobbin members causes the cylindrical surface of the bobbin members to engage the packages and discharge them sidewardly. The bobbin members may include an "eccentric" motion if so desired.
