ABSTRACT:
A pusher conveyor has a series of retractable pushers pivotally connected to an endless chain. The pushers are provided with guide pins which run in guide tracks parallel to the conveyor path. Switches are provided between the guide tracks to guide the pins from one track to another to thereby extend or retract the pushers to engage or disengage articles along the conveyor path. The switches can be coupled to sensors, to enable articles to be stacked along the conveyor path.
