ABSTRACT:
A transfer device for transferring articles from the delivery end of a first conveyor to the receiving end of a second conveyor, which conveyors are so arranged that they convey articles in two directions which lie in an at least approximately horizontal plane and form with each other an angle that is other than 180.degree.. The transfer device is provided with a shaft which is mounted for rotation on a stationary component about an axis which at least approximately bisects the angle formed between the two conveying directions. A carrier arm is fixedly connected to the shaft and is arranged between the delivery end of the first conveyor and the receiving end of the second conveyor. A pick-up is connected to the carrier arm and has a pivotable axle carrying supports which are adapted to engage the underside of an article which is at the delivery end of the first conveyor. A transmission is interposed between the stationary component and the pivotable axle for maintaining the supports below the article during rotation of the shaft which effects transfer of the article from the delivery end of the first conveyor to the receiving end of the second conveyor. Consequently, the supports support the article being transferred throughout the entire transfer operation.
