摘要：Conveyors for selectively conveying product delivered thereto either along apair of side-by-side delivery lanes or a single delivery lane adjacent the pair of side-by-side lanes, the conveyors conveying product to output devices, such as stackers. One ofthe conveyors being laterally movable between a position aligned to receive productfrom one of the pair of lanes to a position displaced therefrom and displaced from theother one of the conveyors. The other one of the conveyors having an upstream sectionswingable about a pivot point to respectively align the upstream end of the swingablesection either with the remaining one of the side-by-side lanes or with the single lane.Releasable clamping assemblies are released to provide movement of the conveyors andare clamped to retain the conveyors in the desired position. A drive coupler between oneof the conveyors and the other of the conveyors may be selectively operated to eithercouple or decouple drive from the first- mentioned conveyor. Conveying belts areprovided which belts adequately negotiate the curvatures of the conveyor paths toassure proper conveyance of product as well as to negotiate the curved conveying path

created when the swingable section is moved to the position for receiving product fromthe single conveyor lane.
