Abstract
A conveyor stop assembly for stopping objects traveling along a conveying path includes a magnetically attractable stop member pivotally mounted for movement out of the conveying path when contacted by an object traveling along the conveying path and an electromagnet that generates an electromagnetic field that acts on the stop member to hold the stop member in the conveying path and stop an object traveling along the conveying path when the electromagnet is energized.
