ABSTRACT:
A continuously driven belt conveyor transports and accumulates articles supported thereon. Ways are positioned alongside the conveyor belt and are movable to vary the relative vertical position of the ways between an accumulation position wherein the support surface of the ways is above the conveyor belt causing the articles to accumulate and a drive position wherein the support surface of the ways is below the conveyor belt to permit movement of the articles therealong. Preferably, the ways are moved vertically by elongated inflatable tubes which lift the ways together with the articles above the moving conveyor surface.
