Abstract
A guide system for packages on a conveyor system includes a generally linear guide member. The guide member aligns the packages as they move along the conveyor system. A generally linear control member is connected to the guide member and lies generally parallel thereto. The control member can be rotated around its longitudinal axis to move the guide member in a generally arcuate path. This causes adjustment of the guide member to accommodate different sizes of packages.
