PURPOSE:To transfer safely and securely articles in a device for transferring the articles from a first device to a second device by utilizing natural drop, by automatically varying the phase of the first device to the second device correspondingly to the transfer speed of the articles. CONSTITUTION:A first conveyer 2 is driven forward by a drive mechnism through chains 18, 11, etc. so that articles 1, 1... drop from the front end of said conveyer 2 one by one onto a second conveyer 4 and are fed in a row on the second conveyer 2 with high speed. And a pulse motor 30 is driven to adjust the synchronizing relationship between the first and second conveyers 2, 4. Thus, movable sprocket wheels 27, 28 meshing with the chain 18 on its forward portion 18a and backward portion 18b respectively from the outside through a link 35 and an arm 25 are finely moved laterally right or left. Thus, the feed of the first conveyer 2 to the second conveyer 4 is changed so that timing of both conveyers can be adjusted.
