<p>A carrier means to which conveyor units (1) are connected moves in an endless track (2) that has sections (3) that curve in the horizontal plane and sections (4) that curve in the vertical plane forming vertical half-turns. An endless belt (5) constitutes the article supporting surface of each conveyor unit. The endless belt may be moved in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction to discharge articles to either side of the conveyor unit. The track sections (4) that form half-turns in the vertical plane allow the discharge stations (6) to be stacked in a vertical direction. Means are provided to prevent the article supporting surfaces of the conveyor units from tilting so as to prevent the articles transported by the conveyor units from being unintentionally discharged.</p> |
