ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for conveying articles, particularly sheet stacks, the articles (5, 105) being conveyed in a common direction on a connecting conveyor (2) and an accumulating conveyor (3) overlapping with the latter and following articles (5) are connected to previously conveyed articles (105) in accordance with different speeds of the two conveyors. The method or apparatus is characterized in that, at least in the overlap area, the articles are sucked by a suction air device (42) onto the connecting conveyor and/or accumulating conveyor. Preferably the articles are also subject to air blast action in the overlap area of the two conveyors.
