摘要

For diversion of packets (10) from an input conveyor track (11) into a further conveyor track directed transversely to it, especially into a vertical packet tower (12) leading downwards, there serves a diversion apparatus, which consists of a plurality of rotating abutments (19a, 19b . . . ). One abutment (19a, 19b . . . ) at a time controls the movement of the packet (10a) which is foremost in the direction of conveyance, with alignment on an entrance opening (14) to the packet tower (12). Furthermore, the packet (10a) is introduced into the packet tower by the abutment.
