An arrangement used to swivel a limit bar and/or stop bar, which is swivelable between two end positions (24, 26), the limit bar and/or stop bar being intended for articles, piece goods, and/or packs grouped on a support surface of a grouping station, the support surface being limited on two or three longitudinal sides by stationary or movable stop bars or pushers, which support surface has a transfer point on a fourth side to a height-variable and/or position-variable handling device with a support surface top for receiving a grouped article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer, wherein the limit bar and/or stop bar: - is swivelable between two end positions (24, 26) about a swivel axis located approximately parallel to and below the support surface, - in the first end position forms a contact bar for the grouped articles, piece goods and/or packs, which are pushable against the contact bar, and - in the second end position forms a support bar approximately parallel to the support surface of the grouping station or inclined slightly upward or downward in transfer direction, which support bar extends the support surface and provides or forms a connection surface and/or transfer surface to the support surface top of the handling device for the article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer to be transferred, characterised in that - the limit bar and/or stop bar is equipped with a controllable conveying device, which at least in the second end position forms a horizontal conveying section for the article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer that is being conveyed and/or pushed to the handling device, and - which conveying device that is assigned to the limit bar and/or stop bar is formed by a drivable conveyor belt, wherein, at least with the limit bar and/or stop bar having been brought into the second end position, the conveyor belt forming the conveying device is drivable in transfer direction of the article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer, and wherein a drive of the conveyor belt forming the conveying device interacts with the swivel mechanism of the limit bar and/or stop bar in such a manner that a drive direction of the conveyor belt in transfer direction swivels the limit bar and/or stop bar against the effect of a restoring force toward the second end position, and that a standstill of the conveyor belt or an opposite drive direction of the conveyor belt causes the limit bar and/or stop bar to swivel back toward the first end position under the effect of the restoring force. - is swivelable between two end positions (24, 26) about a swivel axis located approximately parallel to and below the support surface, - in the first end position forms a contact bar for the grouped articles, piece goods and/or packs, which are pushable against the contact bar, and - in the second end position forms a support bar approximately parallel to the support surface of the grouping station or inclined slightly upward or downward in transfer direction, which support bar extends the support surface and provides or forms a connection surface and/or transfer surface to the support surface top of the handling device for the article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer to be transferred, characterised in that - the limit bar and/or stop bar is equipped with a controllable conveying device, which at least in the second end position forms a horizontal conveying section for the article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer that is being conveyed and/or pushed to the handling device, and - which conveying device that is assigned to the limit bar and/or stop bar is formed by a drivable conveyor belt, wherein, at least with the limit bar and/or stop bar having been brought into the second end position, the conveyor belt forming the conveying device is drivable in transfer direction of the article layer, piece good layer, and/or pack layer, and wherein a drive of the conveyor belt forming the conveying device interacts with the swivel mechanism of the limit bar and/or stop bar in such a manner that a drive direction of the conveyor belt in transfer direction swivels the limit bar and/or stop bar against the effect of a restoring force toward the second end position, and that a standstill of the conveyor belt or an opposite drive direction of the conveyor belt causes the limit bar and/or stop bar to swivel back toward the first end position under the effect of the restoring force.
