<p>A conveyor apparatus for successively receiving single newspapers being advanced by a conveyor loading device and advancing the same to a downstream location for additional processing. The apparatus includes an andless conveyor track having a conveyor chain that supports a multiplicity of pocket members (52) in close proximity with the outer surface of the conveyor track and for movement about the extent of the track. The pocket members (52) are equally spaced about the chain and each includes a pair of spaced spring (72, 74) biased arcuated fingers (64, 66) that are continually urged in a direction to engage and maintain a newspaper (76) in a pocket when received from the loader. A cam controlled lever (80) is operatively connected to the arcuated fingers (64, 66) and serves to control movement of the latter between positions for receiving and releasing a newspaper from a pocket and a position for maintaining one within a pocket.</p> |
