An apparatus for carrying and separating articles includes a pair of parallel endless belts made of an elastic material, a plurality of carrying rods bridging the two belts in the transversal direction and carriers each engaged with adjacent carrying rods and capable of sliding relative thereto in transversal directions. Articles are put on the carriers and are separated with displacement of the carriers in transversal directions. The belt has a core buried in it and incapable of elongation or contraction in the length direction. The pair of belts have carrying rod mounting pins projecting from their opposed edges. These pins are coincident with the center of the cores. They each have an engaged portion and an embedded portion, the engaged portion being engaged in an end of a carrying rod, the embedded portion being embedded in a belt. The engaged portion and embedded portion are eccentric with each other, the embedded portion being embedded in a portion not interfering with the core, the engaged portion being found in the vicinity of the core.
