Abstract
An accumulating endless roller chain conveyor is provided with independently moable, article supporting pallets or carriers mounted upon the roller chains to be frictionally conveyed with the continuously driven chains along the horizontal upper and lower runs of the chains and to be positively coupled to the chains while moving around the end sprockets of the conveyor between the upper and lower runs by the biasing force imparted by a resilient surfaced wheel. The carriers may be stopped at any point along the upper or lower runs without interfering with the continuous movement of the chains.
