A product stabilizing conveyor system for a continuous, segmented lane curvilinear conveyor having linear and curvilinear sections. The conveyor is configured to transport small products, e.g..46 diameter glass vials, in circular fashion. Wedged-shaped diverter elements are positioned at the juncture between a linear section and curvilinear section of the conveyor, after the registry and outfeed area. The diverter elements serve to direct the minute vials away from the larger interstices which form on the outbound paths of travel of the curvilinear section and towards the smaller sized interstices on the inboard paths of travel. Diverting the vials in this manner ensures they do not cross over the edges of the larger sized interstices and fall over onto the conveyor surface. Instead they remain upright as they travel around the curvilinear section and hence around the entire con-veyor.

L'invention concerne un système de transport de stabilisation de produits pour un convoyeur curviligne continu à voie segmentée comportant des sections linéaires et curvilignes. Le convoyeur est configuré pour transporter des petits produits, par exemple des fioles en verre de 0,46 de diamètre, de façon circulaire. Des éléments dériveurs cunéiformes sont positionnés à la jonction entre une section linéaire et une section curviligne du convoyeur, après la région d'enregistrement et de sortie. Les éléments dériveurs servent à diriger les minuscules fioles à l'écart des plus grands interstices qui se forment sur les chemins de déplacement sortants de la section curviligne et en direction des interstices de plus petite taille sur les chemins de déplacement d'entrée. Le fait de dévier les fioles de cette manière assure qu'elles ne passent pas entre les bords des interstices de plus grande taille et ne tombent pas sur la surface du convoyeur. Au contraire, elles restent droites au moment où elles passent autour de la section curviligne, et par conséquent autour de l'ensemble du convoyeur.
