FLOW DIVIDING MECHANISM FOR A CONVEYOR SYSTEM Jay J. Brand Abstract of the Disclosure A flow dividing mechanism for a conveyor system to change the flow of an article, e.g., a plurality of glass sheets includes (1) a first conveyor section positioned between first and second conveyors and pivotally mounted to the first conveyor to provide a first article movement path and (2) a second conveyor section pivotally mounted to an end of a third conveyor with the second conveyor section vertically spaced from the second conveyor. The free end of the first and second conveyor sections are counter balanced on an elevator mechanism for (1) simultaneously pivoting the sections toward each other to interconnect the first and third conveyors to provide a second article movement path and (2) simultaneously pivoting the sections away from each other to interconnect the first and second conveyors to provide the first article movement path. Counter balancing the conveyor sections on an elevator mechanism provides rapid operation of the flow gate to change the flow of the glass sheets from the first article movement path to the second article movement path.
