Abstract:
A typing off-loading and article sorting system to automatically separate different parcel types includes an feed conveyor, receiving conveyor, sorting conveyor, cameras and photoelectric eye. The overhead cameras detect the item size and whether it is cubic in nature and type and size of its footprint. An in-line slide sorter having alternating conveyor rollers and pop-up belts pass through to, or divert articles from, a downstream conveyor. The vison based system may also be used to detect space between articles and insert articles in the unoccupied space.

Claim (Index 31):
The typing and articles sorting system of  claim 29 , said tilted receiving conveyor for receiving diverted articles is positioned having an edge adjacent said take-off roller with a skewed offset roller conveyor surface disposed below a top surface of said take-off roller and said tilted receiving conveyor being tilted upward and outward at a selected angle of from 1-35\u00b0 with respect to said feed conveyor for receiving articles from said take-off roller and limiting lateral movement of said articles over the width of said tilted receiving conveyor pulling said articles into a center region of said tilted receiver conveyor due to the forward and lateral forces of said skewed offset rollers.
