The endless mechanism has a top surface (12) for the transport of the goods and along it are successive buffer sections (A-D) to halt the latter. These have lengthwise beams (18) alongside and parallel to the mechanism, and which are lifted by drive mechanisms (30) to bring the brake surface above that of the transport mechanism (12). The adjacent beams are linked together in a chain, so that to accumulate the goods in a particular buffer section, the respective beam is lifted by its drive mechanism so that it slopes upwards in the transport direction and above the surface (12). After braking the goods to a halt, the entire braking surface can be lifted above the mechanism surface (12), the surfaces of the preceding beams being simultaneously and partly lifted. |
