Abstract
An apparatus for loading containers of a distributing conveyor with flat product includes an endless belt including a plurality of ribs that define at least one compartment that forms a support surface for supporting the flat product. The endless belt is moved in a cyclical motion between resting positions for conveying the flat product supported on the support surface into a container. A cover element forms with the at least one compartment a laterally open shaft into which the flat product is deposited.
