Abstract:
A divider system for diverting objects from an infeed lane into one or more discharge lanes includes a dividing screw set, a discharge screw set, and a diverting mechanism. The dividing screw set conveys a sequence of objects to an output end of the screw set where the objects are divided by rotation of the dividing screw set and outputted alternately to first and second discharge screws of the discharge screw set to form a first series of objects conveyed by the first discharge screw and a second series of objects conveyed by the second discharge screw. The divider system includes a diverting mechanism which can be selectively actuated to divert objects from one discharge screw to the other discharge screw to form a diverted group.

Claim (Index 1):
A divider system operable to divide a sequence of objects into a first series of objects and a second series of objects, the divider system comprising:\n a first screw set comprising a first dividing screw and a second dividing screw; wherein the first dividing screw includes an output end defining a first dividing pocket; wherein the second dividing screw includes an output end defining a second dividing pocket; wherein the first and second dividing screws are rotatably mounted to define a dividing channel therebetween; wherein the first and second dividing screws are rotatable to receive and convey a sequence of objects through the dividing channel to the output ends of the first and second dividing screws; wherein the objects of the sequence of objects are divided by rotation of the first screw set and received alternately into the first dividing pocket and the second dividing pocket; a second screw set comprising a first discharge screw and a second discharge screw; wherein the first and second discharge screws are rotatably mounted to define a discharge channel therebetween; wherein the objects received into the first dividing pocket are outputted from the first dividing pocket and received by the first discharge screw to form a first series of objects; and wherein the objects received into the second dividing pocket are outputted from the second dividing pocket and received by the first discharge screw to form a first series of objects.
