Abstract
Diverter disc for a conveyer system, comprising a circular outer periphery and an grip opening formed in the periphery of the diverter disc, where the grip opening is adapted to hold and divert a puck comprising a circular slide ring at the contact region and that the grip opening is shaped in a non circular shape such that a plurality of discrete contact points are formed in the grip opening. The advantage of the diverter disc is that it will be able to hold the slide ring of a puck in a more secure way due to the reduced contact surface compared with a conventional diverter disc.
Claims8
A diverter disc for a conveyer system, comprising:
- a circular outer periphery and a grip opening formed in the periphery of the diverter disc,
- wherein the grip opening is adapted to hold and divert a puck comprising a circular slide ring at the contact region and that the grip opening is shaped in a non circular shape such that a plurality of discrete contact points are formed in the grip opening, wherein the grip opening comprises two parallel inner side walls.
A diverter disc for a conveyer system, comprising:
- a circular outer periphery and a grip opening formed in the periphery of the diverter disc,
- wherein the grip opening is adapted to hold and divert a puck comprising a circular slide ring at the contact region and that the grip opening is shaped in a non circular shape such that a plurality of discrete contact points are formed in the grip opening, wherein the grip opening,
- wherein the grip opening comprises a plurality of protrusions that extend from an inner surface of the grip opening.
A system comprising:
- a conveyor system adapted to convey and divert pucks having a circular slide ring at the contact region between the grip region of a diverter disc and the puck, comprising at least one diverter disc further comprising:
- a circular outer periphery an a grip opening formed in the periphery of the diverter disc, wherein the grip opening is adapted to hold and divert a puck comprising a circular slide ring at the contact region and that the grip opening is shaped in a non circular shape such that a plurality of discrete contact points are formed in the grip opening,
- wherein the grip opening comprises two parallel inner side walls.
