ABSTRACT:
A dual motion divider for articles moving along a conveyor belt has an intake lane defining member with elongated parallel spaced partition walls defining an intake lane for articles carried on an associated conveyor belt. The member is pivotable at its article receiving end in an arc extending transversely of the partition walls and movable at its other end along an axis parallel to the partition walls. The divider also has a discharge lane defining member with a multiplicity of elongated parallel spaced partition walls defining a plurality of discharge lanes for the articles. The discharge lane defining member is pivotable at its article discharging end in an arc extending transversely of the partition walls and movable at its other end along an axis parallel to the partition walls. The movable ends of the members are adjacent each other and a drive assembly is connected to each of the lane defining members to move concurrently the movable ends in opposite directions and bring the intake lane into alignment with a predetermined one of the discharge lanes. A regulating assembly is provided adjacent a point along the intake lane to permit a predetermined number of articles to pass a point in the intake lane before the intake lane is moved into alignment with a predetermined discharge lane.
