An apparatus for controlling the flow of articles includes an infeed conveyor and an outfeed conveyor spaced apart from the infeed conveyor to define a space therebetween. A movable transport member is disposed across and movable along the space. Transport member includes a rotatable member drivingly engaged by the infeed and outfeed conveyors so as to rotate as either of the infeed and outfeed conveyors move. The transport member travels along the space if a relative speed difference exists between the infeed and outfeed conveyors. An article transfer member is carried by the transport member and is disposed between the infeed and outfeed conveyors to transfer articles between the conveyors as the rotatable member rotates.

Appareil destiné à réguler le flux d'articles, qui comporte un transporteur d'alimentation (A) et un transporteur d'évacuation (B) espacé du transporteur d'alimentation (A) de manière à définir un espace (20) entre lesdits transporteurs. Un élément de transport mobile (D), placé en travers de cet espace et mobile dans ledit espace, comporte un élément rotatif (E) qui est entraîné par engrènement par les transporteurs d'alimentation (A) et d'évacuation (B) de manière à tourner lorsque le transporteur d'alimentation (A) ou le transporteur d'évacuation (B) se déplace. L'élément de transport (D) se déplace dans cet espace (20) s'il existe une différence de vitesse relative entre le transporteur d'alimentation (A) et le transporteur d'évacuation (B). Un élément de transfert (H) d'articles, porté par l'élément de transport (D), est placé entre le transporteur d'alimentation (A) et le transporteur d'évacuation (B) pour transférer des articles entre les transporteurs lorsque l'élément rotatif (E) tourne.
