ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention concerns an apparatus for conveying and temporarily storing products.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A transporting apparatus having a revolving means is disclosed in DE-A 42 09 774. The revolving arrangement removes individual items from an incoming conveyor and conveys them along an essentially curved route to an outgoing conveyor. The outgoing conveyor is designed in such a manner that it conveys the items in groups which each contain a fixed number of items. The carriers of the revolving arrangement preferably release the items before they reach the outgoing conveyor, so that the items are put into groups directly upstream of the outgoing conveyor.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transporting apparatus which combines an efficient storage function when a following machine, for example a supplementary packaging machine, is started up, with plugging of any gaps in the supplied products. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
