An accumulating conveyor having laterally spaced roller means for supporting articles for movement along a conveying path and means for stopping articles on the conveyor where desired. The articles are most advantageously impelled along the laterally spaced roller means by one or more longitudinally spaced projecting portions preferably on a continuous belt whose upper section moves in the space between the laterally spaced roller means. EAch projecting portion of the belt rises slightly above a plane tangent to the top of the roller means and has an upwardly and rearwardly inclining leading edge portion which provides a shoulder which pushes the rear of an article along the laterally spaced roller means and readily slips beneath the article when the article is held against further movement along the laterally spaced roller means.
