ABSTRACT:
A connecting conveyor (32) is arranged between a first conveyor (10) and a second conveyor (24) and comprises a carrier (30) which can be moved freely along the conveyors (10, 24). Arranged on the carrier (30) is a conveying member (35) which is intended to receive, at a transfer location (42) of the first conveyor (10), the articles fed by said first conveyor and to transport said articles to a receiving location (44) of the second conveyor (24). Mounted on the carrier (30) are two drive wheels (38, 38') which interact with respective ones of the conveyors (10, 24). In normal operation, the drive wheels (38, 38') are connected to one another so as to rotate together. In order to close or to form a gap between successive articles, one of the drive wheels (38, 38') is rotationally fixed by means of a blocking element (80), and the other drive wheel (38, 38') is free to rotate by virtue of the relevant coupling (82, 82') being disengaged.
