ABSTRACT:
An interrupter unit for producing a gap in the normal flow of product along a conveyor belt system, including a drive member and an actuator member responsive to the drive member for raising a limited portion of the conveyor belt of the conveyor belt system to produce an inclination of the conveyor belt to prevent further progress of conveyed objects; a transfer unit for transferring conveyed objects between first and second conveyor belt systems, one of the first and second conveyor belt systems being a transferor system, the other a transferee system including a rotatable support section for carrying at least a portion of the conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt system and having a free end and an end rotatably interconnected with the support structure of the first conveyor belt system, and a drive mechanism for rotating the support section between a retracted position and an inclined position bridging the first and second conveyor belt systems, with the conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt system at the free end of the section in close conveying proximity to the conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt system.
