Abstract
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for transferring objects from a first conveyor to a second conveyor which is arranged substantially perpendicularly to the first conveyor, the objects being transferred in parallel relationship to themselves. The first conveyor travels at a higher speed than the second conveyor. The transfer may be effected by means of one or more transfer members adapted to make an oblique movement in such a way that the component of velocity in the direction of travel of the first conveyor is approximately the same as the speed of the first conveyor and the component of velocity in the direction of travel of the second conveyor is approximately the same as the speed of the second conveyor.
