27 Abstract of the Disclosure A diverter assembly for a conveyor system includes a carriage mounting a plurality of positively driven shafts. The shafts each support a plurality of wheels that engage articles traveling on the conveyor system. The wheels swivel between an aligned straight-through orientation and a skewed divert orientation. The swiveling motion is controlled by air cylinders associated with each shaft; the air cylinders being individually and selectively actuated. The carriage also has an associated air cylinder that elevates the carriage and the associated wheels to a raised position during the divert mode. The elevating mechanism and the swiveling mechanism are independently controlled and actuated. This arrangement provides a diverter assembly in which the diverter wheels are selectively raised and swiveled to positively and efficiently divert articles from the main line conveyor to a takeaway conveyor.
