Abstract

A right angle transfer device (20, 120) has a conveying surface (25, 125) defined by a plurality of driven conveying members (26, 126) for conveying objects in a conveyance direction. A diverting conveying member (24, 124) is mounted to a frame (36, 136) and is driven to divert objects in a direction angled away from the conveyance direction. A lift drive (28, 128) rotates a cam (30, 130) to move a bar (32, 132) in a substantially horizontal direction. The movement of the bar (32, 132) causes a frame link (34, 134) connected to the bar (32, 132) and the frame (36, 136) to raise and lower the frame (36, 136). Once the frame (36, 136) has been moved upward to a sufficient extent, the diverting conveying member (24, 124) is raised above the conveying members (26, 126) to move and divert an object away from the conveyance direction.
