ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transporting substantially parallelepipedic packets (2) disposed between a machine (3) for supplying and a machine (4) for receiving these packets (2) comprising at least one horizontal conveyor (5, 6) connecting the machines (3, 4) and a cylindrical store (13) having radial compartments (25) designed to rotate intermittently about an axis parallel to the conveyor (5, 6) and tangential thereto such that the conveyor (5, 6) defines a base wall for the lower compartment (25) of the store (13). There are also provided devices (62, 63) for intercepting the packets (2) at both ends of the lower compartment (25) and means (68) for detecting whether this compartment (25) is full, a cylindrical fairing (34) winding about the store (13), and a connection bridge (38) disposed between the conveyor (5, 6) and an inlet edge (36) of the fairing (34) designed to assume different inclinations as a function of the direction of rotation of the store (13) and an extraction device (49) operating, under the control of the detection means (68), at one end of the lower compartment (25) for the removal from the latter of the packet (2) which completes the group before the closure of the respective interception device.
