A conveyor (1) for objects (6) conveyed between assembly or processing stations includes a base member (3) with a central trough defined by side walls (4,4), with a continuously travelling conveying means (2) at the bottom of the trough, and carriers (7) for conveying the objects (6). The carriers are guided in the trough, are glidable against the conveying means and conveyed by it and have arresting buffers (9) arranged in the trough between them. The buffers comprise elastic rings which are compressed in the conveying direction of the conveying means between a carrier stationary in an assembly or processing station and a further carrier moving towards this carrier. On compression, the ring (9) is expanded transversely against the side walls (4,4) of the trough, causing the moving carrier to be elastically braked while the braking force is taken up in the side walls via friction of the rings against them, to prevent harmful impact against the stationary pallet.
