Abstract
An apparatus for introducing articles into a storage device includes a feeder conveyor for advancing articles toward the storage device in a direction of advance; a support for movably supporting the feeder conveyor such that its discharge end is movable in a direction transverse to the direction of advance of articles on the feeder conveyor and generally parallel to a direction of motion of article-supporting elements of the storage device at the inlet thereof; a drive for moving the feeder conveyor in the direction of advance; a drive for moving the support to thus displace its discharge end transversely to the direction of advance; and an arrangement for synchronizing the motion of the discharge end of the feeder conveyor with the motion of a selected one of the article-supporting elements for transferring articles from the feeder conveyor to the selected article-supporting element during simultaneous motions of the article-supporting elements, of the feeder conveyor in the direction of advance, and of the discharge end in a direction transverse to the direction of advance.
