Abstract: Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose an axle lock assembly comprising a first plate with a first aperture, a second plate with a second aperture, a shaft, wherein the shaft is inserted through the first aperture and the second aperture and a bush. When the bushing is in contact with the first plate and the second plate, the bush creates a lateral force to move the first plate and the second plate in opposite directions to secure the shaft.

Abstract: A belt conveyor system comprising one or more idler rollers, a slave roller, a drive roller coupled to the slave roller, wherein the drive roller configured to drive the slave roller, a belt extending in a continuous loop wrapping around the one or more idler rollers, the slave roller, and the drive roller, wherein the slave roller is configured to drive the belt, and a brake configured to actuate with at least one of: (i) select ones of the one or more idler rollers, and (ii) a portion of the belt in a position adjacent to the select ones of the one or more idler rollers.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a conveyor assembly and method of using the same. In various embodiments, a conveyor assembly comprises a plurality of rollers configured to facilitate transportation of an object on a conveyor surface, the plurality of rollers comprising a first drive roller operable to rotate in a first rotational direction to cause a movement of the conveyance surface in a conveyance direction; and a second roller configured for rotation in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to generate a counterforce that opposes the movement of the conveyor surface in the conveyance direction; and a controller configured to control the first drive roller and a secondary motor operable to drive rotation of the second roller in the second rotational direction to stop the movement of the conveyor surface such that the object disposed thereon is stopped at a stop position defined within the conveyor zone.

Abstract: Devices and systems are provided for improved article sortation. An example sortation device includes a height adjustable frame and a sortation table movably attached to the height adjustable frame. The sortation table defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending therebetween. The body defines a first surface that supports an article thereon where a location of the body between the first end and the second end pivotally attaches the sortation table with the height adjustable frame. The sortation device performs a tilt operation in which the sortation table rotates about the pivotal attachment between the second end and the height adjustable frame so as to convey the article supported by the sortation table. The height adjustable frame adjusts a vertical position of the sortation table so as to modify a vertical position at which the article is conveyed.

Abstract: A multi-pole switch assembly includes a housing, a plurality of switches, and an actuator. The switches are disposed within the housing, and each switch is coupled to receive an actuation force and is configured, upon receipt of the actuation force, to move between a first position and a second position. The actuator is disposed at least partially within the housing and is configured to at least substantially simultaneously engage, and thereby supply the actuation force to, each switch to thereby move all of the switches, with substantial simultaneity, to either the first or the second position. The actuator is rotatable to a plurality of set rotational positions to thereby vary the substantial simultaneity.
