Device for transporting articles, particularly for automatic packaging plants

摘要

A device for transporting articles includes a carousel structure which picks up individual articles from an input conveyor and then entrains them along a generally arcuate path towards an output conveyor. The output conveyor is formed so as to advance the articles in groups each including a predetermined number of adjacent articles. The entrainment members of the carousel structure preferably relinquish the articles before they reach the output conveyor so that the articles accumulate immediately upstream of the output conveyor.
