Abstract
Various implementations relate to an aligner device for redirecting items in conveyance. The aligner device includes a bracket and an aligner arm. The bracket is configured to be coupled with a conveyor. The bracket defines multiple slots that are oriented at different angles. The aligner arm includes a coupling portion and a redirecting portion. The coupling portion is configured to be inserted into a slot of the multiple slots to couple the aligner arm with the bracket. The redirecting portion extends from the coupling portion and is configured to redirect items in conveyance that engage with the redirecting portion.

A device, comprising:
- a bracket configured to couple with a conveyor, the bracket defining multiple slots that are oriented at different angles;
- and
- an aligner arm, comprising:
- a coupling portion configured to be inserted into a slot of the multiple slots to couple the aligner arm with the bracket;
- and
- a redirecting portion that extends from the coupling portion, the redirecting portion configured to redirect items in conveyance that engage with the redirecting portion.
A system, comprising:
- a conveyor;
- a bracket coupled with the conveyor, the bracket defining multiple slots that are oriented at different angles;
- and
- an aligner arm, comprising:
- a coupling portion inserted into a slot of the multiple slots so as to couple the aligner arm with the bracket;
- and
- a redirecting portion that extends from the coupling portion, the redirecting portion configured to redirect items in conveyance that engage with the redirecting portion.
A method, comprising:
- coupling a bracket of an aligner device with a conveyor, the bracket defining multiple slots that are oriented at different angles;
- and
- inserting a coupling portion of an aligner arm of the aligner device into a slot of the multiple slots of the bracket to couple the aligner arm with the bracket, the aligner arm comprising a redirecting portion that extends from the coupling portion so as to redirect items in conveyance that engage with the redirecting portion.
