ABSTRACT:
A conveying junction includes upstream and downstream conveyors, and an intermediate conveyor which transfers packages from the upstream conveyor to the downstream conveyor. A drop-off zone is located adjacent an outer edge of the intermediate conveyor. The upstream conveyor has a greater width than each of the downstream and intermediate conveyors, and the width of the intermediate conveyor is less than one-half the width of the downstream conveyor. This tends to ensure that the downstream conveyor receives only packages arranged in single file and having a width less than the width of the downstream conveyor, in order to minimize the risk of jams occurring in downstream turns of the conveyor system. A driven roller can be disposed adjacent and below the outer edge of the intermediate conveyor to accelerate the discharge of the packages.
