Abstract: A sortation conveyor has a divert guide path which is configured to guide pushers to engage articles disposed on an endless conveying surface at an initial impact which does not result in an out of control situation even at high speeds. The divert guide path is disposed at a plurality of divert angles, and guides pushers to engage articles at a low initial contact divert angle and first lateral speed and to accelerate the articles to a final divert angle and second, higher, lateral speed. The pushers may be undergoing lateral acceleration at the time initial contact is made with the articles.

Abstract: A conveyor system includes first and second upstanding posts disposed in longitudinally spaced apart relation to one another. Each post is surmounted by forward and rearward support arms that form a “V”-shape. A forward drive belt is mounted for rotation along a path of travel perpendicular to the forward support arms. A first embodiment cradles a product container between the forward drive belt and a rearward primary support arm. A second embodiment includes the first embodiment structure and adds a rearward secondary support arm. A third embodiment includes the primary but not the rearward secondary support arm, the forward drive belt and a forward secondary support arm. A fourth embodiment includes the rearward primary and secondary support arms, the forward drive belt and a forward secondary support arm. The product container is tilted from vertical so that the conveyor follows a path of travel including curvatures having no guide rails.

Abstract: The invention comprises a conveyor or sorting system capable of providing multiple divert steps that effectively sort or sequence objects into a desired order on a main conveyor surface. The divert steps or processes involve a divert area active at a divert point along the main conveyor axis. In particular, the invention employs an apparatus or steps in a sorting operation to minimize or reduce the percentage of objects or containers that fall from or jam on the main conveyor by using the bi-directional divert apparatus and divert guides. The apparatus and methods can more accurately sort collections of containers or objects into a desired sequence, for example, as used in mail or parcel delivery systems.
