A delivery apparatus for articles (5), in particular items of confectionary such as chocolate bars, chocolates or the like, entering in transverse rows on a circulating endless feed belt (1) at at least two processing locations provides that the feed belt has arranged downstream of it, on the one hand, a passing-on belt (14), operating, in particular, at the same level and in the same conveying direction, and, on the other hand, a discharge belt (7), arranged outside the plane of the feed belt, (1). There is provided, between the feed belt (1) and discharge belt (7), a transfer belt (9) which is driven such that it can move back and forth between a connection to the feed belt (1) and a connection to the discharge belt (7), That end of the feed belt (1) which faces the passing-on belt (14) and the transfer belt (9) is arranged in a stationary manner. At least the beginning (18) facing the end of the feed belt (1), of the passing-on belt (14) can be pivoted about an axis (16) extending transversely with respect to the conveying direction (6). The transfer belt (9) and the passing-on belt (14) are coupled mechanically, and provision is made for a common pivot drive (20) for the movements of the transfer belt (9) and of the passing-on belt (14).
