| 摘要 |
A transfer assembly of the present invention provides for a low impact transfer of an article between conveyors so that the article can be diverted from a direction of flow without impeding the flow of other articles in the conveyor system. The transfer is done at a relatively fast rate while maintaining the impact on the article to a minimum. The transfer assembly includes a conveying surface and a pusher which is adapted to move across a first portion of the conveying surface from a retracted position adjacent the first portion to an extended position across the first portion adjacent a second portion of the conveying surface for translating an article being conveyed on the conveying surface and for transferring the article from a first conveyor section to a second laterally offset conveyor section. |
