Abstract
A magnetic article laner for use with a conveyor having a conveying surface carrying a plurality of magnetic articles randomly distributed in transverse positions on the conveying surface and moving in a generally horizontal planer path of travel includes magnetic members, disposed in a plane parallel to the path of travel and vertically spaced from the plurality of magnetic articles, for aligning the plurality of magnetic articles into a uniform transverse position defining a lane with a preselected linear path of travel. The magnetic members include north and south magnetic poles defining transverse boundaries of each magnetic lane, and an upstream portion of the magnetic lane has a greater magnetic field strength than a downstream portion of the magnetic lane. The plurality of magnetic articles are urged by divider members and magnetic forces to form an aligned row centered between the north and south magnetic poles of each magnetic lane.
