A conveyor 20 comprising a continuous conveyor belt 35 , driven at a constant speed, and configured for compression and expansion along the direction of travel of the continuous conveyor belt 35 . The continuous conveyor belt 35 passes over a drive pulley 32 and a secondary pulley 34 that freely rotates. At least one impulse linkage 37 engages the continuous conveyor belt 35 , the impulse linkage 37 extends beyond the continuous conveyor belt 35 such that it may be contacted by an impulse striker 49 that is configured to intermittently contact said impulse linkage 37 . By so contacting the impulse linkage 37 , a displacement of a portion of the continuous conveyor belt 35 relative to the rest of the continuous conveyor belt 35 is caused due to the subsequent expansion or compression of the continuous conveyor belt 35 , resulting in a localized acceleration.

1. A system for bagging bread comprising:a continuous conveyor belt, said continuous conveyor belt including a plurality of interlocking compressible conveyor segments, each of said interlocking compressible conveyor segments being configured to slidably engage adjacent interlocking compressible conveyor segments for compression and expansion along an axis that is parallel to a direction of travel of said continuous conveyor belt, driven at constant speed;a first and a second pulley, said first pulley being a drive pulley and said second pulley being a secondary pulley, said continuous conveyor belt passing over said drive pulley and said secondary pulley;an impulse linkage engaging said continuous conveyor belt, said impulse linkage having a portion that extends beyond said continuous conveyor belt in a plane perpendicular to the direction of travel of said continuous conveyor belt;an impulse striker assembly, configured to intermittently contact said impulse linkage, thereby causing a faster displacement of a given point along said continuous conveyor belt relative to another point along said continuous conveyor belt;an impulse drive assembly further comprising an impulse drive pulley, an impulse secondary pulley, a guide pulley, and a continuous driving mechanism passing over said impulse drive pulley, said guide pulley, and said impulse secondary pulley, wherein said guide pulley is disposed between said impulse drive pulley such that a length of said continuous driving mechanism passing between said impulse secondary pulley and said guide pulley lies in a plane that is parallel to the plane containing the upper length of said continuous conveyor belt, and said impulse striker is disposed on said continuous driving mechanism. 2. A conveyor comprising:a continuous conveyor belt including a plurality of interlocking compressible conveyor segments, each of said interlocking compressible conveyor segments being configured to slidably engage adjacent interlocking compressible conveyor segments, said continuous conveyor belt configured for compression and expansion along an axis that is parallel to a direction of travel of said continuous conveyor belt;a first and a second pulley, said first pulley being a drive pulley and said second pulley being a secondary pulley, said continuous conveyor belt passing over said drive pulley and said secondary pulley;an impulse linkage engaging said continuous conveyor belt; andan impulse striker assembly, configured to intermittently contact said impulse linkage, thereby causing a faster displacement of a given point along said continuous conveyor belt relative to another point along said continuous conveyor belt. 3. The conveyor of claim 2, wherein said continuous conveyor belt is driven at constant speed. 4. The conveyor of claim 2, further comprising an impulse drive assembly having an impulse drive pulley, an impulse secondary pulley, and a continuous driving mechanism passing over said impulse drive pulley and said impulse secondary pulley, wherein said impulse striker is disposed on said continuous driving mechanism. 5. The conveyor of claim 4, wherein a length of said continuous driving mechanism passing between said impulse drive pulley and impulse secondary pulley lies in a horizontal plane that is parallel to the plane in which the upper length of said continuous conveyor belt lies. 6. The conveyor of claim 2, wherein said impulse drive assembly further comprises an impulse drive pulley, an impulse secondary pulley, a guide pulley, and a continuous driving mechanism passing over said impulse drive pulley, said guide pulley, and said impulse secondary pulley, wherein said guide pulley is disposed between said impulse drive pulley and said impulse secondary pulley, and said impulse striker is disposed on said continuous driving mechanism. 7.
