ABSTRACT:
The invention is a selective diverting device for diverting an individual cookie from one conveyor belt path to another location. It is preferably used in combination with a sensing device, such as a weigher, optical sensor, color sensor, or the like, the sensor selecting out "rejected" articles and actuating the diverting member.
The diverting member itself comes in three embodiments, all similar, and a fourth embodiment which is somewhat different. The first three embodiments include a pivotable conveyor-belt device which is automatically actuated (as by a piston or the like) to pivot out of the main conveyor belt path when a "reject" article is located thereon. In the fourth embodiment, the "reject" conveyor belt is a retractable device, not pivotable, and is for articles having a greater length than the spacing between two rollers (since relatively large gaps occur in this embodiment).
