Abstract:
A modular transfer system with a primary flow system and a diverter system. The primary flow system includes a primary flow belt for conveying an article along a primary flow path from an infeed side of the modular transfer system to a pass-through side of the modular transfer system. The diverter system includes one or more diverter belts for diverting an article from the primary flow path towards a divert side of the modular transfer system. The primary flow belt includes multiple movable components contacting the diverter belt. The movable components can have one or more rotational degrees of freedom.

Claim (Index 9):
A modular transfer system comprising:\n a main belt comprising a plurality of spherical balls, the main belt configured to convey an article along a primary flow path; a diverter belt positioned under the main belt, the diverter belt oriented generally perpendicular to the primary flow path, an upper surface of the diverter belt contacting a bottom of the plurality of the spherical balls of the main belt, an under surface of the diverter belt comprising a first rib on a first side of a centerline of the diverter belt and a second rib on a second side of the centerline of the diverter belt; and a drive roller engaged with the diverter belt, the drive roller configured to drive the diverter belt to cause the spherical balls of the main belt to rotate with a component of motion toward a side of the main belt, thereby diverting an article on the main belt from the primary flow path, wherein the drive roller comprises:\n a first channel configured to receive the first rib of the diverter belt; and \n a second channel configured to receive the second rib of the diverter belt; and \n wherein the respective engagement between the first and second ribs and the first and second channels reduces misalignment of the diverter belt relative to the main belt.
