Patent number: 10696495Abstract: A flexible chain diverter system acts as a moveable diverter “swing-arm” capable of dispensing groups of bottles into the array of entrance gates for loading onto a shipping pallet. The flexible chain has a variable axial length. As a result of the ability to change in axial length, the diverter described herein can remain taut at the shortest distance gates and can stretch to reach gates at the maximum range of reach. This allows for the path length of travel to be optimized for any gate.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Automated Industrial Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary Sill, Paul Wright
