ABSTRACT:
A diverter assembly, for diverting baggage from a main belt conveyor to an intersecting conveyor, includes a single row of diverter rollers pivotally mounted therein. The diverter rollers are continuously rotated with power mechanically derived from the main conveyor. The diverter assembly is mounted in a gap formed in the main conveyor and a lift mechanism raises and lowers the diverter rollers while a swivel mechanism simultaneously pivots the rollers so that the articles are diverted. The lift mechanism and swivel mechanism are synchronized, so that when the rollers are lowered they are oriented coaxially to take up very little horizontal space, and to decrease the size of the gap over which articles pass unsupported. When the diverter rollers are raised, however, the rollers are automatically pivoted, in part taking advantage of the greater room available, and the rollers divert articles from the main conveyor.
