    Abstract: A plurality of slats having a head and a tail form a conveyor system. A sorter travels laterally across the slat to divert parcel across the slat. Each of the slats has a front edge and a rear edge located longitudinally apart from each other. The front edge and the rear edge are located at different vertical heights to create overlap between adjacent slats. The lower edge positioned vertically below the upper edge has an upper surface that curves downward from the conveying surface to the lower edge. The upper edge positioned vertically above the lower edge has a lower surface that curves downward from the upper edge towards the lower edge. A retention lip extends upward between the lower edge and the conveying surface to trap articles within the retention curve between the retention lip and the conveying surface.

    Abstract: The belt tracking guide provides a stationary device that secures to a side rail of the conveyor system. The belt of the conveyor system travels between the two rails to transport objects through the conveyor system. The guides attach to the side rails allowing the belt to travel adjacent the guides. Each guide provides an upper guide finger and a lower guide finger. The guide fingers form a guide aperture located between the fingers. The belt travels through the guide apertures between the guide fingers. The guide finger redirects the belt away from the guide to center the belt.
