Conveyor assembly incorporating a pop-up swivel wheel diverter

摘要: A diverter is capable of selectively and alternatively operating in an in-line mode which it conveys articles along a primary conveyor diverting swivels pops-up to smoothly ramp vertically from the divert at angle onto secondary or like. In addition popping-up swiveling, helps turn diverted article by conveying one side faster than other side. The includes plurality laterally spaced wheel assemblies each can be swiveled orientation skewed orientation. outer peripheral surfaces wheels run conveyor's speed when are their change speeds swivel so that increase progressively wheel-to-wheel as moves across create differential conveyor. Speed changeover effected via multi-grooved spool coupled O-ring belt. Diverter swiveling causes belt twist traverse generally helical flattened-S-shaped crossover groove forward flange separating adjacent pulley grooves spool. spools move together during pop-up operation reduce stretching.
