Abstract
A distribution conveyor for packages and the like having at least one transport including a carrier on which the packages are placed, and adapted to travel on an endless track responsive to a spaced, free-working chain. Each transport is further provided with cylinders which are connected to the transport for rotation about horizontal and vertical axes, and which are arranged in the direction of travel. The track is provided with generally parallel rails which are vertically arranged in rising, dipping and spiralling running areas so that the carriers are adjusted to remain horizontal in these areas.
