<p>A method of achieving temporary storage of a succession of objects such as newspapers, arranged in overlapping formation, comprising dividing the succession of objects into sections (1) carried along on a conveyor (22) to a position close to a series of vertically displaceable shelves (21), depositing the sections (1) on the shelves and displacing the series of shelves transversely to the direction of movement of the conveyor in order to bring the shelves into a position close to the conveyor to allow the sections to be deposited on the shelves or to be transferred from the shelves to the conveyor when the temporarily stored sections are to be fed out. An apparatus for performing the method comprises means (10) for dividing the succession of objects into sections, a conveyor (22) for transporting the sections (1) through a temporary store consisting of a series of shelves (21), and means (20 min ,22,23,25,26) for transferring the sections between shelves and conveyor.</p> |
