ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns equipment receiving continuously and individually delivered objects and arranging these objects into sets for discharge to a packaging station. Two conveyor chains (3, 4) fitted with compartments to receive the objects are mounted transversely to the objects' conveyor belt (2) so that these compartments shall be colinear in the direction of object delivery. A stop (7, 8) is mounted between the two conveyor chains (3, 4) in the extension of the objects' direction of delivery and is designed to open and close the compartment of the conveyor chain (4) located at the rear as seen in the direction of object delivery. A control system controls the stop (7, 8) as well as the drives of the conveyor chains (3, 4) in such manner that at a given time one of the conveyor chains (3, 4) shall be running and receiving the incoming objects while the other conveyor chain (4, 3) shall be stationary and so that following a predetermined number of timing signals the running conveyor chain (3, 4) shall be stopped and the particular other conveyor chain (4, 3) shall be made to run, the stop (7, 8) being switched in such a way that thereupon the other conveyor chain made to run will then receive the incoming objects. In this manner continuous operation without interruptions by long shutdown times to remove objects from the particular stopped conveyor chain is made possible.
