<p>The invention relates to a transport arrangement with a load carrier (1) for the transport of goods. An endless conveyor belt built up of links (4) is so arranged as to run in a recessed track with a bottom (5) and parallel side walls (6a, 6b). A load carrier (1) with or without goods is transported in the direction of movement of the belt through friction between the belt and the load carrier (1) and is held stationary on the belt by overcoming the friction at predetermined stations along the belt. Support rails (8a, 8b) are arranged parallel with the track and to either side of it. The load carriers (1) are executed with two carriages (2) arranged one after the other, attached to one another in a mutually articulated manner and guided by the aforementioned side walls (6a, 6b), each of which carriages is supported by support wheels (2a) running on the support rails (8a, 8b) for the purpose of bearing most of the weight of the goods. For the purpose of bearing the residual weight of the goods, each carriage has a guide shoe (2c) so arranged as to make contact with the conveyer belt. The bottom (5) of the track is so arranged as to produce a spring effect in a direction parallel with the side walls (6a, 6b) and normal to the plane of the track. The spring effect varies along predetermined sections of the track.</p> |
