PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily correct the space between finger groups without stopping a device even if dimensions in a product group vary during running a product conveyor. SOLUTION: While the finger 2a (2b) running ahead provided in a first chain 3a or second chain 3b, are projected into a product conveyor 44, the drive of a drive means is controlled so that the finger 2a (2b) running behind provided in the first chain 3a or the second chain 3b, are projected into the product conveyor 44 at a position separated by a specified space P equal to a dimension L of a specified number of products 41 arranged. This article grouping device is provided with a space measuring means 7 for measuring a dimension L1 in the running direction of a product group to be grouped and a space correcting means 8 for changing the drive quantity of the drive means so that the specified space P between fingers becomes equal to the valve L1 measured by the space measuring means 7 before the finger 2a (2b) running behind is projected above the product conveyor 44.
