ABSTRACT:
Endless conveyor comprising a plurality of inter-connected conveyor units (1) spaced from each other and traveling in a mainly horizontal circuit, each unit being provided with a carrying surface (7) directed outwardly with respect to said conveying circuit. Each surface can assume two positions as a result of a tilting movement about an axis (9) lying parallel to the circuit: a virtually horizontal conveying position (B) and a downwardly inclined discharge position (A). There is a rod system (17-28) and a damping element (16) for regulation of the speed with which each surface (7) is moving by gravity from the horizontal conveying position (B) towards the discharge position (A).
