A hinged panel which is used as the back-panel of ready-to-assemble furniture. A strip of tape is adhered to one side of a piece of hardboard or similar board of material such as medium density fiberboard or high density fiberboard. The hardboard is die cut along a taped hinge line while the tape is present and remains uncut. Further, one or more knock-out areas are die cut through the entire thickness of the hinged hardboard panel at desired locations on the hinged hardboard panel to allow passage of power cords or other wires or cables, or to allow extension of objects. The hinged panel can be folded at the hinge line and put into a small container with other parts of ready-to-assemble furniture for shipment. Since the hinged panel was originally one piece of board, the unfolded hinge line is almost invisible and each half of the knock-out area that straddles the hinge line matches without the need of aligning.

Items carried by a conveyor belt are deflected from their original path of travel by deflector members that travel at the same speed as the belt, in some embodiments, or by deflector members that travel in a wave-like motion with the items in other embodiments. In all embodiments, the profile and preselected characteristics of each item are sensed and a computer determines which deflectors to deploy into path-diverting relation to the items. Thus, any pattern of deflectors can be deployed. The deflectors may be deployed gradually as they travel past a trigger member moving a slightly different speed or they may be deployed abruptly when traveling past a fixed position trigger member.
