Abstract
An article antiscrambling and accumulating conveyor in which a series of principal article propelling rollers are aligned along the conveying path and driven by suitable means, in which the principal propelling rollers are aligned with supplementary article supporting rollers having an impositive driving connection with the principal rollers through drive transmission means, so that articles of varying size are all propelled by the principal propelling rollers to avoid the problem of wide articles tending to turn or skew against narrower articles on the conveyor. A conveyor of this character develops propelling forces under an accumulated group of articles in a common line, regardless of the variations in dimensions of the articles being accumulated.
