The relative heights of the two types of bars may be varied, to define article conveying pockets of different sizes and depths. Rollers are provided within of the arcuate ends of belts driving and supporting the bars. The belt may be endless, or assembled from one or more belt segments. Two or more belts may be combined laterally, to increase the width of the conveyor belt.
