ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for grouping a plurality of printed or like objects into a plurality of equal sets, while they are conveyed in a row in which they overlap one another in a mutually equally spaced apart relation, includes an upstream conveyor supported on a plurality of rollers and a downstream conveyor disposed downstream of the upstream conveyor at a level of height which is lower than that of the upstream conveyor. At least one of the rollers is disposed above the downstream conveyor so that the upstream conveyor vertically overlaps the downstream conveyor to transfer each of the objects to the downstream conveyor along a downward path. An object holding device is provided above that portion of the upstream conveyor which is supported on the at least one roller. The holding device is downwardly movable for holding one of the objects against the upstream conveyor in response to a signal indicating that another object immediately preceding the one object has passed over the at least one roller, while a predetermined number of objects forming one group of objects ending with the immediately preceding object is counted by a counter.
