Abstract
In an apparatus for accumulating conveying of goods constructed in the form of a roller conveyor with rollers (10, 12) in which via inflatable hose sections (42) a chain (28) is adapted to be brought into engagement with the goods to be conveyed, between the chain (28) and each hose section (42) a support and guide profile for the chain (28) is disposed in a U profile (14). The support and guide profile (62) is made in the form of a comb with teeth (64) and between every two teeth (64) the shaft journals (16, 18) carrying the rollers (10, 12) can be accommodated. By this arrangement the U profile (14) may be made very narrow.
