FIELD: mechanical engineering; conveyor transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for continuous grouping or arranging of articles in definite order on conveyor. Proposed device is divided into first section 2 and second section 3 with common plane 4 on which articles are shifted forward. Each section 2, 3 of conveyor is provided with two deflecting rollers 6, 10 and 7, 11, respectively, arranged on common plane 4. Each section is provided with deflecting roller 6, 7 arranged near deflecting roller of other section. Second section 3 of conveyor can move at higher speed as compared with first section 2. Stop member 18 arranged between deflecting rollers 6, 7 located near each other is made for displacement at angle of 90° relative to common plane 4, and deflecting rollers 6, 7 arranged near each other are made for sideward displacement together with stop member 18 along common plane 4.

EFFECT: provision of quick and reliable grouping of articles without using pickups and without stopping of articles in their movement along conveyor.
