Abstract
A conveyor system for delivering articles in succession has an endless conveyor loop, which is guided by guide rollers around a closed path including a horizontally extending run. The guide roller at one end of the horizontally extending run of the closed path and a further guide roller in a part of the path other than the horizontally extending run are mounted on a support, which is pivoted by a reciprocating mechanism so as to cyclically extend and retract the horizontal run of the loop at one of its ends while maintaining tension in the loop.
