<p>The invention relates to a conveying unit enabling the accumulation of containers (6), i.e. bottles, comprising an accumulation table (2) which is laterally provided with guide rails (12,13) and which consists of a juxtaposition of at least one feed conveyor (9) and one accumulating conveyor (10), wherein the containers are brought onto said table (2) to the upstream end thereof with the aid of at least one feed transporter and are removed to the downstream end thereof with the aid of at least one discharge transporter. The unit is characterized in that at least one of the guide rails (12, 13) is provided with a transversal indentation (12a, 13a) consisting of a section of said guide rail (12, 13), whereby the amplitude (14) thereof ranges between 0.2 and 0.8 times the diameter D of a container (6), and it is offset in relation to the longitudinal axis (15) of the guide rail (12, 13) at a distance corresponding to said amplitude (14). Field of application: conveyance of containers.</p> |
