ABSTRACT:
A device for regulating the advancing movement of articles in a given direction comprises a plurality of conveyors, such as for example belt conveyors, between an input supply conveyor and a positive drive output conveyor operating to supply, for example, a packaging machine. In order to adapt automatically to the handling of articles with different lengths, at least some of the aforesaid conveyors, intended to perform a phasing action of the advancing movement of the articles, are chosen with different lengths so as to form a set which is able to deal with the possible range of variation in the length of the articles dealt with, by coupling several conveyors in cascade. Preferably, the conveyor at the downstream end has a selectively controllable length varied in dependence on the length of the articles being handled.
