Abstract: An accumulating conveyor includes upper and lower runs which form upper and lower tracks, reverse sections connecting the upper and lower runs, and a deflecting element connected to a first motor. Endless tension elements engaged with a deflecting element circulate a pallet in the upper and lower runs. A stop element is on the underside of the pallet, and a stopping element is arranged between the upper and lower runs and driven by a second motor. The stopping element has a locking position with the stop element for stopping the pallet and a release position with the stop element for conveying the pallet. The stopping element is guided in sections around the stop element on a curved path during movement from the locking position to the release position to release the pallet for further conveying.
