ABSTRACT:
A gravity accumulation conveyor apparatus for transporting objects from an upstream end to a downstream end under the influence of gravity as the objects traverse a plurality of rollers, the apparatus having at least one roller zone including a plurality of nondriven rollers having an upstream roller and a spaced downstream roller. A flexible connector such as an O-ring is in mechanical engagement with only the upstream roller and the spaced downstream roller such that only the upstream roller and the downstream roller move in synchronism. When a first object is stopped on the downstream roller, a second object engaging the upstream roller also tends to be stopped. When the first object moves on the downstream roller, the second object engaging the upstream roller is caused to move.
