Abstract
A waste disposal system embodies a waste diverter apparatus for receiving waste from a single waste supplying chute and selectably controlling distribution of the waste to a pair of waste outlet chutes. Each of the waste outlet chutes is connected to a waste compactor or other suitable means for waste disposal. The waste diverter apparatus includes a waste diverter housing which has a single waste inlet opening, and a pair of waste outlet openings which connect to the pair of waste outlet chutes. A waste outlet gate is provided for each waste outlet opening, and each gate slides horizontally to open and close its corresponding waste outlet opening. The waste outlet gates are supported in a vee configuration by three parallel horizontal bars; a single lower bar having two slotted tracks to receive the lower edges of both waste outlet gates, and a pair of spaced, horizontal upper support bars, each parallel to the lower bar and each having a single slotted track to receive the upper portion of one waste outlet gate. Each of the waste outlet gates is independently activated by an associated hydraulic driving ram, which is connected to its associated gate by a suitable driving shaft.
