An apparatus (10) for conveying flexible sheet-like products wherein a plurality of conveying elements (12) are arranged one behind the other on a rotatable support member in a circular array, and each conveying element comprises a roller segment (24), which is driven continuously in the direction of rotation (D), and a mating element (26), which interacts with the roller segment. In the product receiving region (14), a recess section (44) of the respective roller segment (24) forms, with the mating element (26), an introduction gap (48), of which the leading end is closed. The forward position of the recess section (44) forms a stop (62) for engaging the leading edge (52) of the fed product (19). At about the same time as the leading edge (52) comes into contact with the stop (62), a lateral-surface section (46) following the recess section (44) forms, together with the mating element (26), a conveying gap (54) in which the product (19) is retained in order to be transported further through the conveying element (12).
