Suspended storage apparatus

A machine for delivering different chocolates or other objects to selected positions on trays comprises, for each type of chocolate, a distribution head receiving chocolates along a waiting line. Yokes of an intermittent chain conveyor laterally displace a number of chocolates to be delivered to a tray, and these chocolates are blown down respective channels leading to the selected positions, where they are taken up by vertically moving suction cups and lowered into the respective position in a tray carried by an intermittently driven conveyor. Synchronized drive of the various members is provided by a directly-linked kinematic chain.
