Abstract
A hybrid diverter includes a base and a transfer assembly. The base includes a base frame and base rollers rotationally supported on the base frame to define a base path for passing the items therealong. The transfer assembly includes a transfer drive and a transfer bar. The transfer drive includes first and second independent drive tracks. The transfer bar has a fixed end connected to the first independent drive track and a slotted end movably connectable to the second independent drive track. The transfer bar is movable by the first and the second independent drive tracks along a variable transfer path about the base. The transfer bar has a surface for engagement with the items whereby, upon activation of the first independent drive track and the second independent drive track, the transfer bar selectively diverts the items away from the conveyor path.
