Zusammenfassung:	An article reorganiser receives articles from input lines (1) and deposits them in output lines (2). The apparatus comprises an endless conveyor (3) having a plurality of laterally extending article receptor means (4) which are spaced apart in the direction of movement of the conveyor. Each receptor means (4) is provided with several article receptors (5) for receiving articles from the input lines (1) and at least one of these receptor means (4) is laterally movable. Adjacent receptor means (4) are arranged in groups and each group of receptor means (4) is arranged to receive at least one article from each input line (1) and, by movement of one or more of the receptor means (4), to laterally reposition the articles prior to their deposit in the output lines (2).
