belt 92 as the conveyor belt 92 advances in the direction of belt travel 112 the cam followers below the belt on the pushers 76 contact the paddles 134 to rotate the wheel through one fifth of a complete rotation 72 u00b0 without changing the position of the pushers on the track 72 as shown in fig1 a when the leading edge 140 of the diverting cam 136 contacts a pusher 76 u2032 it forces that pusher along the track as shown in fig1 b and 16c the next pusher then engages a rear edge 142 of the diverter cam to rotate the cam another 72 u00b0 as shown in fig1 d with the cam wheel 132 of fig1 a d mounted in a housing 144 under a side edge of the conveyor belt 92 as in fig1 every fifth pusher 76 u2032 is positioned away from the reset position of the other pushers 76 the four consecutive pushers 76 at the reset position serve to register all the conveyed articles 146 at the same lateral position across the width of the belt the offset fifth pushers 76 u2032 meter the articles at equally spaced locations along the length of the belt cam wheels with different geometries can be used to achieve different effects fig1 27 depict various conveyor configurations using a pusher belt diverter as in fig1 15 in different conveying applications fig1 shows an.
