Abstract
An endless accumulating conveyor of the under/over type adapted to slidably support pallets and to frictionally transport them over both the upper and lower conveyor runs. The pallets may be held stationary and accumulated while the conveyor continues to advance. If the pallets are allowed to advance, without accumulating, they will be positively propelled around the curved section at each end of the conveyor from one run to the other by a drive mechanism which is adapted to engage a part on each pallet.
