ABSTRACT:
A conveyor including an endless, driven surface for transporting articles and article diverting shoes having a depending guide pin to control their direction of travel. The shoes divert the articles from the conveyor path. The diverter shoes utilize a plate-like gate positioned at an angle to the direction of diverter shoe movement along the conveyor path. The gate is at one end of an arm which extends laterally from the path of travel of the diverter shoes and their depending pins. This gate is pivotally supported between its ends. The end of the arm opposite from the gate is secured to the armature of a solenoid which, when energized, causes the gate to be pivoted upwardly into erected, pallet diverting position with its path of movement being substantially vertical. Upon deenergization of the solenoid, a spring retracts the gate. As a result of this arrangement, the movement of the gate is limited to about one inch, is both substantially vertical and almost instantaneous.
