Claim:
1. A method for conveying a succession of objects in a longitudinal direction, comprising conveying the objects in the longitudinal direction; pivoting each object while conveying the object at a first longitudinal displacement speed (V conveying each object at a second longitudinal displacement speed (V wherein the second longitudinal displacement speed is different from the first longitudinal displacement speed and lower than the first longitudinal displacement speed, when the second zone follows the pivoting zone in the direction of movement of the objects, so that the objects change from a longitudinal position in the conveying direction to a transverse position, and a spacing between two successive objects is reduced in the second zone; and wherein the second longitudinal displacement speed is greater than the first longitudinal displacement speed, when the second zone precedes the pivoting zone in the direction of movement of the objects, so that the objects change from a transverse position in the conveying direction to a longitudinal position, and a spacing between two successive objects is increased in the pivoting zone.
