ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system includes a first conveyor for advancing serially arranged, contacting articles; a second conveyor adjoining the first conveyor and including article pusher members for advancing the articles individually or groupwise spaced from one another; a circulating article advancing device for separating individual articles or article groups from the article series on the first conveyor and transferring them from the first conveyor to the second conveyor. The motion of the circulating article advancing device is synchronized with the motion of the article pusher members of the second conveyor for effecting a take-over of the conveyance of the transferred articles by the article pusher members from the circulating article advancing device. The circulating article advancing device has article abutting members and article accelerating members arranged to engage simultaneously into a gap between a first article to be transferred and a second adjoining article contacting the first article. The article abutting members are driven with a speed corresponding at least approximately to that of the first conveyor, while the article accelerating members are driven with a speed greater than that of the article abutting members, so that the operative article abutting member withholds the second article from the first article and the operative article accelerating member transfers the first article to an article pusher member of the second conveyor.
