ABSTRACT:
A merge conveyor defines a travel pathway for moving cargo. A tail pulley has a first rotational axis which is perpendicular to the travel pathway. First and second nose bars are parallel and spaced and are disposed at an angle with respect to the travel pathway. A drive pulley has a second rotational axis which is parallel with the travel pathway. A snub pulley has a third rotational axis which is parallel with the first rotational axis. An endless belt is sequentially routed over the tail pulley, the first nose bar, the drive pulley, the second nose bar, and the snub pulley. The endless belt extends directly from the second nose bar to the snub pulley and then directly to the tail pulley.
