Abstract of the Disclosure The invention relates to a method for transferring bottles arriving in upright position in laterally adjacent rows on a feed conveyor into a single row of bottles on a downstream conveyor, in which the bottles are deflected from said feed conveyor onto a laterally adjacent inter mediate conveyor on which they are successively acceler- ated during a transverse movement so as to form a single row of bottles which is then transferred to the down- stream conveyor. The method according to the invention aims at reducing the development of noise in the vicinity of the transfer station as well as the susceptibility there- of to failure by providing that by transversely tilting the end section of the feed conveyor, the resulting declivity drift causes the bottles to crowd together, with the bottles of the lowermost row being supported by a support railing, and that by arranging the intermediate conveyor at the same inclination as the feed conveyor and by recessing the support railing towards the lower portion of the intermediate conveyor, the declivity drift causes the bottles to migrate onto the inter- mediate conveyor, whereon they are caused to slide over the successive acceleration zones so as to arrive at the maximum speed zone in a spaced arrangement, said support railing extending across said intermediate con- veyor in such a curved arrangement that the lowermost bottles are biased in-to engagenemt with the support railing by the declivity drift also in the acceleration zones, while the bottles which are still at a higher level and are therefore accelerated with some delay are caused by said declivity drift to support themselves o the lower bottles and to intrude into the spaces formed therebetween
