CONVEYOR APPARATUS HAVING PIVOTABLE LOAD-BEARING ELEMENTS

摘要

A conveyor apparatus has a plurality of pivotable loadbearing elements which are disposed one behind the other and travel along an endless track that has at least one unloading station where the load-bearing elements are unloaded by a pivoting action. Two switching elements disposed at the unloading station are switchable individually between an inactive state and an active state for pivoting the loadbearing element. One of the switching elements is divided into first and second switching parts so that a load-bearing element disposed in the region of the unloading station can be operated selectively with one or the other of the switching parts for the purpose of pivoting the load-bearing element for unloading.
