Zusammenfassung:A by-pass mechanism for a conveyor system which enables a series of articles to be diverted from the main conveying path. The conveyor system includes a main conveyor section for conveying a series of cans or other articles and a by-pass conveyor section which is connected to the main conveyor section. An inverted U-shaped gate is pivotally connected to the side of the main conveyor section and is pivotable between a conveying position, in which it is in alignment with the main conveyor section, and a bypass position in which it serves to divert articles through the by-pass conveyor section. The gate is pivoted by a fluid cylinder mounted on the side of the conveyor and by manual actuation of the cylinder, the gate can be pivoted to the bypass condition which enables a series of the articles to be diverted to the bypass conveyor section for purposes of inspection.
