A multi directional roller assembly for directing articles in a conveying system. The multi directional roller assembly has a rotatable roller frame housing at least one set of mutually actuating rollers. The multi directional roller assembly directs an article supported by the assembly along a trajectory determined by the orientation of the multi directional roller assembly relative to an input force. The orientation of the multi directional roller assembly may be changed to change the trajectory. A conveyor system may include an array of multi directional roller assemblies. An actuator controls the orientation of the multi directional roller assemblies individually and may also control an array of multi directional roller assemblies as a group. |
