ABSTRACT:
An accumulator conveyor has rollers forming an object transport surface and an endless flexible drive member. The drive member, at intervals, rests on and travels over support members each resiliently supported for vertical movement. Each support member has a generally circular drive member support having a flattened area of reduced radius and also a circular feeler extending into the path of objects on the transport surface. An object held stationary over the feeler depresses it and the drive member, with the drive member continuing to rotate until the flattened area is uppermost, dropping the drive member and terminating its drive engagement with the object above.
