An automatic article surge accumulator is described which has an inlet for the articles, an outlet spaced from the inlet and a plurality of moveable shelves between the inlet and the outlet. Each shelf can store one or more of the articles. The shelves are moveable so that after one shelf is full, a new shelf shifts into position to receive one or more additional articles. Associated with the shelves is a device for shifting the articles to a releasing position so that they are able to move to the outlet when a demand is made for an additional article.
