Abstract: In a conveyor for feeding non-slidable goods into a continuously operating packing machine, and wherein spacing between the goods being conveyed is provided by elongated engaging bars spaced from each other, a storage device is provided at the inlet portion of the conveyor. The engaging bars are discharged from the storage device onto the conveyor band of the conveyor at predetermined intervals controlled by a programming shaft of the packing machine. The engaging bars have flexible, deformable elements which are clamped between the conveyor band and clamping driven endless belts so that the engaging bars are retained on the conveyor band at predetermined intervals from each other.
