Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for transferring goods (6) from a first (2) to a second conveyor (4), comprising a substantially upright extending frame (8), —an endless drive arranged on the frame (8) and • drivable by a motor; at least one support member which is connected to the endless drive (24) and which is drivable in a circuit by means of the endless drive (24), —at least one product carrier (28) connected to the support member, wherein the product carrier (28) is connected to the support member for rotation about a lying shaft extending transversely of the frame, wherein the product carrier (28) is connected drivably to no more than one endless drive.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring goods from one conveyor of random nature to another, includes a frame, an endless transporter supported therein and at least one carrier connected thereon. The carrier is connected to the endless transporter for rotation on a lying shaft and a holder is provided for holding the carrier horizontal, so that goods can be transferred in a random path from one conveyor to the other.
