The apparatus (100) comprises second pusher elements (21) mounted on a second looped conveyor organ (2) which is arranged with respect to the first conveyor organ (1) such that the second pusher elements (21) are arranged above the corresponding first pusher elements (11). Second movement means (4), associated to the second conveyor organ (2), are included for moving the second pusher elements (21), transversally to the advancement direction (V2) thereof, so that they can abut the sheets (F) and push the sheets (F) internally of relative packs (A).

AN APPARATUS FOR DISPLACING ARTICLES ADVANCING CONTINUOUSLY ALONG AN ADVANCEMENT DIRECTION
The apparatus (100) for displacing articles advancing continuously along an advancement direction (A) comprises a conveyor organ (1) and a pusher element (11), mounted on carriages predisposed slidably on support rods fixed transversally to the belts of the conveyor organ (1), so as to displace the articles transversally to the advancement direction thereof. The apparatus comprises rollers (31) idle below carriages (14), a first sliding pathway (15) and a second sliding pathway (16) alternative to one another for the sliding of the rollers (31) having a shape such that when the rollers (31) follow the first sliding pathway (16) the carriages (14) maintain a stationary position on the support rods (13) and when the rollers (31) follow the second sliding pathway (16) the carriages (14) are forced to translate along the support rods (13), so that the pusher elements (11) are forced to translate transversally so as to displace and push the articles transversally. A switching device (5) is arranged so as to be able to abut the rollers (31) of the carriages (14) and deviate the sliding thereof so that the rollers (31) can insert and slide either in the first sliding pathway (15) or in the second sliding pathway (16).
