Abstract
Apparatus for conveying cylindrical objects such as ammunition by means of a series of separate seating plates driven to rotate in synchronism, associated with two guiding members separated by a distance at least equal to the diameter of the objects, the whole forming a guideway for advancing objects by successive displacements. The advancing guideway is constituted, in succession, by an upstream guideway (1), an intermediate guideway (2) and a downstream guideway (3), and the intermediate guideway (2) is constituted by one part of a magazine (20) the other part of which is constituted by an additional guideway (2') which closes at its two ends on the intermediate guideway (2) so as to form a closed guideway associated with a series of seating plates forming a closed chain with the plates of the intermediate guideway. Two switches (6, 7) positioned respectively at the ends of the intermediate guideway (2) are capable of assuming two positions assuring continuity of the intermediate guideway (2) either with the upstream guideway (1) and the downstream guideway (3), or with the additional guideway (2') forming the other part of the magazine (20).
