ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for selectively diverting articles being conveyed on a second conveyor path to a first conveyor path includes an apparatus for diverting an article, which diverting apparatus has an upstream end and a downstream end, the diverting apparatus being selectively movable between an activated position and an inactivated position. When the diverting apparatus is in its inactivated position, the diverting apparatus is included in the first conveyor path, and receives at its upstream end articles being conveyed in a first direction on the second conveyor path and conveys the articles along the first conveyor path. When the diverting apparatus is in its inactivated position, the diverting apparatus is sufficiently distant from the first conveyor path not to obstruct articles of a selected maximum size being conveyed on the second conveyor path. There is also provided an apparatus for selectively moving the diverting apparatus between its activated position and its inactivated position.
