Attorney, Agent or Firm: Jacobson and Johnson

A pneumatic conveyor tube switch operable for diverting materials from a pneumatic conveying line to secondary locations with the rotating diverter valve including a band bearing and a pair of inflatable seals to permit rotation of a central tube and to confine the material within the pneumatic conveying lines of the conveying system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A diverter for use in a pneumatic conveying system comprising: an inlet for introducing a material to be pneumatically transported through said diverter; a plurality of secondary outlets to receive material from said inlet; a conveying member located intermediate said inlet and said plurality of secondary outlets, a main plate connected to said conveying member, said conveying member having an inlet end and an outlet end; a rotatable support, said main plate and said rotatable support coacting to rotatably support said conveying member, said conveying member rotatably positionable so that one end of said conveying member is in alignment with said inlet and the other end is positionable with respect to one of said plurality of secondary outlets; a support member located at said inlet end of said conveying member, said support member having a band bearing thereon; said band bearing located at said inlet end of said conveying member, said band bearing comprising a layer of low frictional material, said low frictional material forming a rotational support to permit said inlet end of said conveying member to rotate thereabout; an inflatable annular seal, said inflatable seal positioned between the junction of said support member and said conveying member to provide a seal to prevent leakage of material between the junction of said support member with said conveying member.
2.
The invention of claim 1 wherein said seal has at least two mutually perpendicular surfaces which when inflated provide a sealing surface against two mutually perpendicular surfaces.
3.
The invention of claim 2 wherein said seal has an annular opening therein for inserting a flange therein; said flange operable to hold said seal in position in said conveying system.
4.
The invention of claim 3 wherein at least one of the surfaces of said inflatable seal has a concave surface when in a deflated condition.
5.
The invention of claim 4 wherein said conveying system has an annular seal on said outlet
