Zusammenfassung:Apparatus (1) for handling articles (2), including an endless infeed drive member (3) moving in an infeed direction (ID); an endless outfeed drive member (4) moving in a second, outfeed direction (OD); and an endless carrier conveyor (33) having. The carrier conveyor includes an infeed section (34) overlying the infeed drive member (3), whereby the infeed drive member (3) drives the infeed section (34) in the infeed direction (ID); an outfeed section (35) overlying the outfeed drive member (4), whereby the outfeed drive member (4) drives the outfeed section (35) in the outfeed direction (OD); and an arcuate intermediate section (36) bridging the infeed section (34) and the outfeed section (35) along a transfer path (37) between a diverting point (DIV) where the carrier conveyor (33) disconnects from the infeed drive member (3), and an inverting point (INV) where the carrier conveyor (33) connects the outfeed drive member (4).
