Abstract
A conveyor system formed by a main steel belt conveyor which carries items from a receiving station to any one of a number of discharge conveyors which extend to different destinations. A mechanism is provided in each of the discharge conveyors which pushes items from the main conveyor onto the discharge conveyor. The mechanism has a pusher arm which is supported by a rod assembly so as to be moved across the main conveyor downstream from the unloading zone while extending upwardly away from the main conveyor. It is then swung down on the far side of the item and pushes the item onto the discharge conveyor.
