ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for conveying articles such as cigarettes transversely to the axis thereof and for temporarily storing the articles between a machine for continuously feeding the articles to the apparatus and a removal device for periodically removing said articles from the apparatus. The apparatus includes a feeder to receive an accumulation of articles coming from the machine, a transfer conveyor to receive articles from the accumulation, a grooved belt to receive articles from the transfer conveyor, a common regulable drive to drive the transfer conveyor and the grooved belt and a gear disposed between the common drive and the grooved belt and operable to have a periodically changing gear ratio to oscillate the transfer conveyor along the grooved belt and to provide the grooved belt with a varying conveying speed. At a given instant the oscillation of the transfer conveyor has a speed equal to any difference between the speed of the grooved belt and the speed of the transfer conveyor.
