Abstract
A conveyor apparatus has mutually independent pallets carrying bobbins or bobbin tubes and having base plates. A moving surface, such as a surface of a conveyor belt, imparts a slaving force to the base plates standing on the moving surface and slaves the base plates along a conveyor route by friction. A device acts upon unmoving pallets for briefly varying the slaving force of the moving surface.
