Abstract
A conveyor apparatus has at least one power-driven roller arrangement for a positive engagement and feed of an item in the conveying direction, and an incremental feed device situated downstream of the roller arrangement as viewed in the conveying direction. The incremental feed device includes an incremental feed roller spaced from the roller arrangement; an energy storing device connected to the incremental feed roller; and a mechanism for urging the item against the incremental feed roller for rotating the incremental feed roller by the item advanced by the roller arrangement to arm the energy storing device and for further advancing the item by the incremental feed roller during energy release by the energy storing device.
