Abstract:
A material handling system includes a belted conveyor that longitudinally transports low profile articles. An actuating mechanism selectively positions a counter rotating cylindrical roller brush diagonal across the conveyor surface to divert the low profile articles to a lateral destination off a side of the belted conveyor and can position the cylindrical roller brush away the belted conveyor to allow the low profile articles to transport to a longitudinal destination at a terminal end of the belted conveyor.

Claim (Index 15):
A diverter for use with a conveyor having a conveyor surface for conveying articles to a downstream position comprising:\n a rotatable brush; an actuating mechanism comprising:\n a mounting member coupled to the brush, and \n an actuator coupled to the mounting member to position the brush from a non-diverting position to a diverting position, wherein in the diverting position, the brush may be positioned with respect to the conveying surface of the conveyor to divert the articles to a lateral destination, and wherein in the non-diverting position, the brush is positioned with respect to the conveying surface so as to allow articles to continue toward the longitudinal destination; and \n a motor for rotating the brush.
