ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for conveying articles from at least one magazine to several depositing areas includes a continuous, endless conveyor by which the articles are transported from the magazine to predetermined positions which extends on the conveyor below the depositing areas at equal distance b to each other. The number of positions corresponds to the number of depositing areas. Moreover lifting units are provided of a number corresponding to the number of predetermined positions for transporting the articles from the positions to the depositing areas. The conveyor is moved step-by-step at a step length s=b/(n-1) wherein b is the distance between two adjacent positions and n is the number of positions or the number of steps. The magazine has a distance a=s.multidot.x from the one position closest in conveying direction wherein x is an integer.
