Diverting means at each of a number of articles diverting stations of a conveyor comprise a frame supported for rocking motion along an axis extending generally longitudinally of the conveyor below each diverting station. The frame carries first and second sets of continuously driven longitudinally spaced article impelling elements, such as friction wheels respectively moving in opposite directions and positioned on opposite sides of the pivot axis of the frame. Normally, the frame is balanced in a position where both sides of article impelling elements are located below the level of the conveyor. By rocking the frame in one direction or the other from the balanced position, one set or the other of article impelling elements are raised above the level of the conveyor to impel an article thereon in one direction or the other to an article receiving point on one side or the other of the conveyor.
