To perform inversion and overlapping such as accumulation of articles supplied continuously.
An inversion and stacking device 1 is provided with an inversion overlapping mechanism 4 between a supply conveyor 5 for conveying articles sequentially and a discharge conveyor 6 for discharging articles in a condition in which they are accumulated in layers. In the inversion overlapping mechanism 4, a plurality of pockets P receiving articles sequentially have a front blade 7 and a rear blade 8. Each blade 7, 8 is connected with respective first and second endless chains at a predetermined interval, and each pocket is arranged at a predetermined interval for circulation. A sprocket wrapped around with each chain and a driving motor are attached to a pair of elevating frames, which can elevate and lower. Discharge pushers are provided by opposing to the plurality of pockets P on a discharge conveyor 6 side to push out a plurality of articles simultaneously.
